By establishing its global headquarters in Ningbo city, Zeekr will be at the forefront of Ningbo city’s government plans to upgrade and transform the region’s automotive industry through the introduction of new technologies.

Producing a maximum power output of 543 PS and a maximum torque of 700 Nm, the Zeekr 001 is capable of a 3.8-second century sprint time. Geely claims a 700 km electric range, but no drive cycle has been mentioned (NEDC or WLTP).

With a new command center, it would seem like Zeekr is bent on becoming a major player in the EV segment. Expect more to come!
