Ford Sells Volvo to China's Geely for $1.8 Billion

Zhejiang Geely Holding Group signed a binding deal Sunday to buy Ford Motor Co.'s Volvo Cars unit for $1.8 billion, representing a coup for the Chinese automaker, which is aiming to expand in Europe.

The purchase gives Geely a European luxury car brand with a reputation for safety and quality at a time when China, which last year surpassed the United States as the world's largest car market, is eager to improve its competitiveness.

Ford has committed to provide engineering support, information technology, access to tooling for common parts and certain other services for a transition period to smooth the separation.
