Geely buys DSI, Drivetrain Systems International

[UsmanAnsari]

though the news is a bit old but posting it now since there was no such thread on PW.. notify if its a repost.

Geely were announced today as the successful buyer of Drivetrain Systems International. For those not familiar with DSI, they are one of the worlds largest gearbox manufacturers, and already produce six speed automatic gearboxes for use in RWD, and AWD vehicles for Ford, Chrysler, and Ssangyong. According to media reports, DSI are researching 8 speed transmissions, as well as CVT and double clutch technology. In February 2009, DSI entered bankrupty protection, and as a result Ford of Australia where affected by the slow down in production of gearboxes. The plan for DSI now is to expand their international operations, and further enter the Chinese marketplace as a supplier to other Chinese manufacturers other than Geely.
Geely’s purchase of DSI will no doubt give them a fantastic lead over their domestic competition, and will lift them further on the international stage, especially when coupled to their upcoming 2009/2010 models.

At only double the price of Mehran, Chinese Phantom is a big hit while Chinese Mehran is catering to the poor china population

^^ dude, there's no such thing as Geely fans.. and that news is quite old now, I believe..
and damn these effing chinese, they're going to take over the whole world or something..

China rocks bro

[TrueEye]

people of xinjiang province would beg to differ..

and they do not have any ability of their own to come up with a new innovative technology..they're just like scavengers, a bit from here and a bit from there.. and this equally applies to both their civil and military technologies/products...

[UsmanAnsari]

even most of our fighter aircrafts are Chinese ripoffs aren't they?

on a serious note, they are taking over the world.. brands like Rover, Volvo are already under Chinese influence now, while there is more to come

@TrueEye.....That's how Japan started its automotive industry as well...copying american cars to their heart's extent...and when they made a strong international footing, then they started their development and research activities and look where Japan stands now....
