Geely celebrates Chinese New Year with a Guinness World Record-breaking car mosaic

Being one of the largest car makers in the world, you can expect Geely to do things huge, including celebrating Chinese New Year. This year, Geely ushered in Chinese New Year by breaking the Guinness World Record for creating the world’s largest car mosaic.

Over 2,000 Geely Emgrands (known in China as the Geely Dihao) were used to make the record-breaking car mosaics at Geely’s second manufacturing base in Cixi, Zhejiang. The cars were used to form 2 images.

The first image is of an ox head. The ox head mosaic is made up of 750 Emgrands, 100 of which are cars from the Emgrand owner club. The Emgrand owners reportedly come from all over China to participate in making the mosaic.

The second image is made up of 1,339 Emgrands to form the words “2021”, “China”, and “Ox”. The word “ox/ cow/ bull” in Chinese is also slang for “awesome” or “cool”, so indirectly the message is cheering China on.

According to the Guinness World Record, the mosaics took over 30 hours to form as organisers work to follow the record’s guidelines such as the distance between the cars cannot exceed 20 cm and the overall mosaic has to cover at least 3,000 square metres.

Geely’s mosaic reportedly spanned 7,070.26 square metres, more than enough to go down in history as the largest mosaic made up of cars.
