Mr. Daniel Donghui Li – CEO of Geely Group, said that the investment will be a great boost to the growth prospects and strong future of this new startup.
In particular, capital will be allocated to build a global sales network and strengthen research and development of new technologies.
Another interesting thing is that Zeekr has only been launched by Geely in 2021, has not yet passed its 2nd birthday, but has achieved the desirable valuation of many other start-up car manufacturers. whether it’s an electric car or a traditional car.
Currently, Zeekr is focusing on AI technology research, with examples such as “anti-slip” steering systems and voice-activated vehicle control assistant systems.
Zeekr’s most outstanding product, the Zeekr 001 model is rated to be able to travel up to 641 miles, or regarding 1,000km per charge. Meanwhile, currently Tesla’s Model S electric car with the longest range on a single charge is only 396 miles, equivalent to more than 630km.
In addition to its intentions to enter the European market, which is extremely welcoming of Chinese electric vehicles, Zeekr is also said to have secretly filed for an IPO listing on the US stock exchange in December 2022, near. at the same time as two other electric vehicle startups, Vinfast from Vietnam and Fisker.
It can be said that this is a very serious competitor in the start-up and development of other fledgling electric car companies. With a clear development orientation and “big man” Geely backing, plus good promises regarding AI technology, it will be a “rose-lined road” for Zeekr in the future.
