If Zeekr does produce cars in Europe, it will be in an existing Geely or Volvo factory. Is the U.S. next?
Every time I’ve talked to Zeekr, they’ve been relatively up front with how geopolitical tensions and a cold war have poured water on the brand’s aspirations to expand outside of China. Add in a new EU tariff of 19.9% on Geely-made cars imported from China, and the Sino-Swedish spin-off of Geely had to go back to the drawing board if it truly considered European sales as part of its plan for global expansion.
In fact, if Zeekr does move forward with its European manufacturing and localization plans, it will be with existing Geely-owned plants. Plants in Sweden and Belgium will soon produce the Geely-related Volvo EX30, which is based on the Zeekr-developed SEA platform.
