Geely Confirmed As main sponsor for Bloodhound SSC Project , 
Chinese carmaker and the parent company of Volvo, Geely, has been confirmed as the main sponsor and official automotive partner of the Bloodhound SSC project.
Confirmation of the agreement comes after the project to build a vehicle capable of 1000 mph (1600 km / h) was delayed nine months ago due to a lack of funds. While Geely financial investment in the project is not known, the Bloodhound team says its plans to establish a new speed record on land in 2017 are back on track.
The next year, the director Richard Noble Bloodhound project wants to see the vehicle undergoing shakedown trials at Newquay Airport in the UK. If these tests are successful, the Bloodhound SSC head Hakskeen Pan South Africa in an attempt to reach 800 mph (1,287 km / h), beating the current land speed record of 763 mph (1227 km / h). The following year, the team plans to break his own record at the Hakskeen Pan 1,000 mph (1,609 km / h).
According to Noble, "we could not have a better partner than Geely: not only are they an international technology company with extraordinary vision and ability, they share our passion for innovation and education . Their support, both technical and financial means that we can now plan the record challenge next year with confidence. it also means that we can take our message STEM inspiration to a vast new audience, which is great for science and engineering, but also for the promotion of Great Britain. "
Chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, Li Shufu, expanded on this by highlighting the similarities between the two.
"We are proud and happy to be part of this amazing team. Geely shares the same challenging spirit and passion for pushing the technological barriers that the Bloodhound project," he said.
