Based in Shanghai. Backed by a Shanghai Geely retail network. Built for independent car dealers, fleet buyers, and importers worldwide who want Geely, Zeekr, and Geely Galaxy vehicles without running their own Chinese export operation.
Independent car dealers in emerging markets. Fleet operators — ride-hail, rental, corporate chauffeur. Specialist importers filling gaps where official Geely or Zeekr distribution doesn't cover specific models or trims. Government and NGO procurement teams running tenders.
What we don't do: retail single vehicles to private buyers outside China. That's the local Geely dealer's job, and we work through local dealers rather than around them.
FOBEV operates from Shanghai's Fengxian District. Our principals include minority partners in a Shanghai Geely retail network, which gives us direct allocation access for Geely and Zeekr models. We are an independent export intermediary — not a factory, not the national Geely distributor in any specific country, not a broker flipping other exporters' quotes.
The typical Chinese auto exporter targeting small-volume international dealers has one of three problems. They're a broker reselling other exporters' stock with a markup. They're factory-direct with minimum order quantities that exclude small dealers. Or they're a shop selling whatever happens to be cheap this week, with no continuity.
FOBEV is structured differently. Our partnership with a Shanghai Geely retail network gives us stable inventory — not opportunistic stock. Our export desk is small enough that you get the same account manager across your first, fifth, and fiftieth shipment. Our portfolio is curated: we focus on Geely Group (Geely + Zeekr + Geely Galaxy) because one sourcing relationship then covers most of a dealership's price tiers.
Geely is the #1 Chinese auto exporter globally — 400,000+ vehicles shipped annually to 80+ countries. Within Geely Group sits Zeekr (premium EV), the Geely core lineup (Starray, EX5, EX2, Coolray, Emgrand, Galaxy), and strategic partnerships (Proton, Volvo). Focusing on Geely Group means we can credibly cover everything from entry-level urban EVs (EX2) to flagship executive sedans (Zeekr 007) through one desk.
We're independent, not authorized distributors in any specific country. Where an official Geely or Zeekr distributor operates in your market, buying from them is usually better for warranty and parts. We exist for markets, models, and volumes the official channels don't cover well.
