The Zeekr brand: what is known about it
This is a relatively new premium electric car brand, created in 2021 by the Chinese automotive giant Geely Holding Group (which also owns well-known European brands such as Volvo, Polestar and Lotus).
The brand was conceived as a direct competitor to Tesla and other premium electric cars, combining modern technology, a high level of safety and futuristic design.
The name Zeekr is derived from Generation Z and the term ‘geek’ (computer enthusiast), emphasising its focus on modern digital technologies.
As a reminder, at least four people were killed and a further 58 injured, including three children, as a result of strikes on Kyiv last night. Four people were killed.
