Swedish carmaker Volvo, owned by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co Ltd, plans to spend $11 billion on developing new products and boosting its manufacturing footprint in the next few years, a company spokesman said on Thursday.Earlier in the day, German magazine Wirtschaftswoche said Geely would invest the money, but spokesman Per-Ake Froberg said that funding would come from Volvo itself and include financing from cash flow and borrowing."It is not Geely investing $11 billion," he said.Geely took over Swedish premium brand Volvo from Ford Motor Co in 2010 in China's largest overseas auto acquisition, reflecting the country's rapid rise in the sector.
