The first Zeekr X crossover EVs built specifically for the European market have rolled off the assembly line at the Geely-owned company’s factory in Ningbo, China, this last Sunday and have already been transported to the port, ready to be shipped to Sweden and the Netherlands.
This second shipment will follow the first batch of Zeekr 001 EVs sent to the Old Continent in August and will spearhead the Chinese company’s expansion to Europe, with the first deliveries set to begin closer to the end of the year, when the Geely-owned carmaker will open its first direct-to-consumer retail locations in Stockholm and Amsterdam, with more to follow on the continent. Zeekr says it intends to have a presence in most Western European markets by 2026.
