On March 1, 2023, Aramco signed a letter of intent to become a potential minority stakeholder in a new powertrain technology company (PWT), to be established by Geely Holding Group (Geely Holding), Geely Automobile Holdings Limited (Geely Auto HK.0175) — collectively referred to as “Geely” — and Renault Group, Argaam earlier reported.
 

The new company will be dedicated to internal combustion and hybrid powertrain technologies.
