Zeekr

Zeekr is an automotive brand associated with China. Its commonly cited modern founding or brand-launch year is 2021, and its headquarters or principal operating base is in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Understanding that background is important because some names began as independent companies, while others were created later as specialist marques within larger automotive groups. Zeekr was launched in 2021 by Geely Holding as a premium electric-mobility brand. It grew from technology and product planning within Geely’s electric-vehicle ecosystem and uses dedicated EV architecture shared across parts of the group. The first Zeekr 001 established the marque’s performance-oriented image. The company expanded quickly with electric crossovers, MPVs and shooting-brake-style vehicles, supported by software, battery and charging development. Its global ambitions have included entries into Europe, the Middle East and other markets.
