BEIJING — Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., a closely held Chinese automaker, may bid for Ford’s Volvo unit, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
Beijing Auto, which failed in a bid last month for General Motors’ Opel business in Europe, is expected to send executives this week to Volvo’s Gothenburg, Sweden, headquarters, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The Chinese delegation is to tour Volvo’s factories and review its books, the person said.
