Ford Agrees to Sell Volvo to a Fast-Rising Chinese Company. HONG KONG â Ford Motor reached an agreement on Sunday to sell its Volvo subsidiary to a Chinese conglomerate, in the clearest confirmation yet of Chinaâs global ambitions in the auto industry. The Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, based in Hangzhou, agreed to pay $1.8 billion for Volvo, with $1.6 billion in cash and the rest in a note payable to Ford. Ford paid $6 billion in 1999 to acquire Volvo, leaving the company with a substantial loss on its investment.
