The automaker states its EVs were jointly designed between its teams in China and Europe at ZEEKR’s global design center in Gothenburg, Sweden. ZEEKR’s new website is up and running, enabling consumers in the EU to place their new EV orders now. It’s like we have ESPN or something! The ZEEKR 001, now available for pre-order in Europe / Credit: ZEEKR ZEEKR officially enters Europe, beginning in Sweden, NLīeginning today, ZEEKR has officially opened pre-orders for its 001 and X EVs in both Sweden and the Netherlands. Hint – two of the countries we guessed are correct.
We mentioned territories like Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands. In the letter, An stated the brand intends to “create value in the world’s most mature automotive markets.” At the time, we surmised that smaller, EV-centric countries in Europe where other Chinese automakers have already begun sales, made sense for ZEEKR. This echoed a statement made by the company a year prior during the 001 launch, but we still were unaware where ZEEKR’s entry into Europe would begin. One of the five key tasks laid out by An for 2023 was entry into new markets in Europe. The X is one of two new models promised to debut this year, according to an ambitious internal letter sent out by ZEEKR CEO Andy An this past January. Those production numbers came on the wings of just two models, but a third recently joined the fold called the ZEEKR X – its first crack at an SUV. In the two-plus years the young automaker has been in existence, it has already produced 100,000 EVs in China. ZEEKR is a EV-centric, wholly-owned sub-brand of parent company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. The Chinese EV automaker will launch in two EU countries to begin as it shares a timeline to expand to even more of Western Europe.
Nearly six months to the day after revealing ambitious plans to enter new markets in Europe this year, ZEEKR has launched pre-orders for two of its three current EV models.
