About Zeekr
Zeekr is a premium electric vehicle brand founded by Geely Holding Group in 2021 to serve as the company's high-performance, technology-driven flagship within its growing EV portfolio. Positioned above mainstream Geely models and parallel to Polestar in global markets, Zeekr targets a new generation of buyers seeking the sophistication of European luxury blended with the innovation and digital integration of Chinese intelligent mobility. The brand name, derived from "geek" and "z," symbolizes its focus on tech-forward design, zero-emission performance, and a youthful, connected identity.
Built on Geely's proprietary Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), Zeekr vehicles benefit from an advanced modular EV platform engineered for high rigidity, long range, and fast-charging capability. The brand's debut model, the Zeekr 001 shooting brake, introduced a blend of grand-touring dynamics and minimalist design, quickly followed by the Zeekr 009 luxury MPV and Zeekr X compact crossover. Each model showcases Geely's mastery of scalable architectures, high-voltage battery systems, and dual-motor e-drive configurations capable of delivering both efficiency and sports-car acceleration. Zeekr's flagship sedans and SUVs feature 800V architectures enabling ultra-fast charging and are built for global homologation in Europe and Asia.
Zeekr's technological foundation is anchored by Geely's global software ecosystem, including the in-house ZEEKR OS for connected services, continuous OTA (over-the-air) updates, and advanced driver-assistance capabilities powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips and Luminar lidar systems. These technologies enable semi-autonomous driving, high-resolution environmental mapping, and adaptive route optimization. Zeekr's digital-first approach extends to its sales model as well, emphasizing direct-to-consumer online engagement, seamless app-based ownership, and integrated energy and service networks.
Manufacturing is centered at Zeekr Intelligent Factory in Ningbo, China—a state-of-the-art facility featuring high levels of automation, digital twins for process control, and clean-energy operations. Zeekr's design studios in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Shanghai collaborate closely to ensure global aesthetic appeal while maintaining engineering discipline. As Geely expands its international footprint, Zeekr serves as its spearhead for brand elevation and EV export growth, with entry into the European market in 2023 and plans for further expansion into the Middle East and North America. In positioning itself as China's answer to Tesla, Porsche, and Polestar, Zeekr embodies the fusion of performance, luxury, and intelligence that defines the future of global electric mobility.
