Singapore and LondonJune 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vodafone Business has expanded its partnership with Geely Technology Europe, the European R&D organization under Geely Auto Group, to now cover in-vehicle internet, mobile private networks, and cloud connectivity solutions.
Vodafone Business’s in-vehicle internet service supports features such as vehicle diagnostics and over-the-air software updates, while cloud connectivity ensures secure data transmission between vehicles and cloud systems. This enables Geely to monitor vehicle performance and support an enhanced driving experience.
Additionally, Vodafone provides secure and reliable connectivity services for Geely Technology Europe’s operations in Germany and Sweden, as well as its pan-European sales team.
Geely Technology Europe plays a key role in developing vehicle architectures, digital platforms, and intelligent systems. These systems offer customers highly responsive, feature-integrated in-vehicle internet and digital services, such as dynamic electric vehicle charging planning and 3D lane guidance. At its core, the focus is on equipping vehicles with the latest software, data, and connected services.
Beyond Simple Mobility Solutions
Giovanni Lanfranchi, CEO of Geely Technology Europe, stated: “We are no longer limited to simple mobility solutions. Today, vehicles can be continuously upgraded through software. The use of data and connectivity technologies allows vehicles to deliver a more responsive and personalized experience over time.”
Vodafone Business’s vehicle services support Geely Technology Europe in responding to customer insights, enabling continuous optimization of vehicles even after they leave the showroom. Taking Zeekr navigation as an example, secure, always-on connectivity allows vehicles to instantly receive customer feedback. This shortens development cycles and enhances Geely Technology Europe’s ability to identify issues and rapidly deploy improvements.
Fanan Henriques, Director of Products and International Business at Vodafone Business, said: “As electric vehicle adoption continues to rise, the opportunities to enhance their safety, efficiency, and user experience through digital connectivity are immense. We are supporting Geely’s vehicle sales growth and business operations in Europe through a secure, multi-service digital infrastructure.”
98% of Vehicles to Be Connected
Vodafone Business is delivering tailored solutions to meet international cybersecurity, data protection, and regulatory compliance needs, while leveraging Vodafone’s extensive global network to support Geely’s rapid expansion across regions. For example, Vodafone’s in-vehicle internet service combines the Vodafone Global Managed IoT Connectivity Platform (currently hosting over 240 million connections worldwide) with local internet service providers.
It is projected that by 2030, over 98% of new passenger vehicles sold will be connected. Vodafone Business, in partnership with Geely, is ready to help drive this growth.
