Zeekr 001

The secret of Zeekr 001 was revealed almost 2 years ago, and since then, the first model of the new sub-brand of Geely Holding has confidently and firmly entered the hearts and minds of fans of electric cars in the premium segment.

Every year, the global automotive industry gradually shifts its focus to the production of cars equipped with a petrol engine, giving preference to environmentally friendly vehicles.

An example is the success of BYD brand, which last year surpassed Tesla in sales, and Zeekr sold more than 6 thousand premium liftbacks in less than 3 months of the past year.

A seemingly simple but sounding name can hold a lot of interesting information. The first two letters "Ze" mean "zero emission" or "zero emission", the third letter is Electric-Evolution-Era, and the ending "kr" (Greek "hidden", "secret"), krypton, a gaseous substance, invisible and intangible.

The headquarters of Geely Holding is in Hangzhou, where Zeekr models are produced. And born there "zero-first", is not that a sports liftback, not that a crossover. And 2022 was the year of birth of a new, luxurious minivan 009.

In the next "five years" Zeekr has set the task to produce a new model every year, and in 2024 they expect the appearance of an autopiloted robotaxi.
