Lynk & Co, the Chinese-owned mobility brand, said it will expand into the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland, marking a further step in its European growth strategy. The company, part of Zhejiang Geely Holding, said the move will extend its presence to 25 markets across the continent by 2026.
The carmaker plans to begin sales in the Czech Republic in October 2025 before rolling out in Austria and Switzerland in the first quarter of 2026. Its lineup in the three countries will include the Lynk & Co 01 and 08 plug-in hybrid models as well as the fully electric 02.
Lynk & Co said vehicles will be sold exclusively through local retail partners, adding more than 15 new points of sale. The company expects to have around 150 partner-operated outlets across Europe by the end of 2025, supporting its aim to increase accessibility to its electrified portfolio.
The expansion will be supported by Volvo Cars, also owned by Geely, with the Swedish automaker providing logistics, spare parts distribution and other operational services. The collaboration is designed to ensure a smoother rollout and to leverage Volvo’s established market experience in the region.
The Czech Republic’s central location, Austria’s rising demand for electrified models and Switzerland’s high purchasing power were cited by the company as key drivers for its market entry. Lynk & Co said the phased commercial launch is part of its plan to strengthen its position as a pan-European brand offering electrified mobility solutions.
