Geely start-up ZEEKRGlobal might be only two years old, but it's just confirmed its arrival in Europe later this year. Get the full lowdown on the 001 shooting brake and X urban crossover in our handy guide ⚡️
A simple choice of two Zeekr models will be launched in Europe from autumn 2023:The company announced that it would launch in Sweden and the Netherlands in the fourth quarter of 2023. Its Euro HQ will be based in Amsterdam, while its technical base is in Gothenburg, alongside the Volvo/Polestar/Lynk & Co facility on Sweden’s south coast.
Don’t expect a formal dealer network: the brand is cutting out the middleman with what it calls ‘a direct-to-customer business model’ that relies on digital touchpoints and central fulfilment centres.The brand has not yet confirmed right-hand drive sales for British customers. Zeekr is analysing the market potential and a decision will be announced soon.
Zeekr CEO Andy An said: ‘It’s been just two years since we revealed our first state-of-the-art electric vehicle – the Zeekr 001 [above]. The response from customers to our brand has been incredible with over 93,000 units sold already. After the last round of A-Series funding, which raised $750 million, Zeekr was valued at $13 billion, and building on that success, we are excited to launch our brand in Europe as a key step in our global strategy.
The company might be small today, but it is aiming for 650,000 annual sales by mid-decade – fuelled by an eight-model line-up and sales expanding to include Europe and, by 2024, the United States. That’s some step up from the 93,000 vehicles sold in its first two years. But with the might of Geely behind it, who’d bet against Zeekr?
