Zeekr

Zeekr will hold a technology launch event on March 16 for the Zeekr 8X, its second hybrid model.

The updated Zeekr 007 GT, set to launch in the second quarter, will see a price increase amid rising chip and battery costs, according to a local media report.

Zeekr has completed its first deliveries of the Zeekr 7X in Germany and launched sales operations in three Southern European countries.

Zeekr will launch the updated 009 in the second quarter, upgrading to a 900-volt high-voltage architecture and Nvidia's new-generation autonomous driving chip.

Geely Auto's February sales grew about 1% to 206,160 units, with record exports serving as the core growth engine.

A traffic accident caused by misinterpreted voice commands has exposed potential safety hazards in EV models pursuing minimalist design and smart features.

The recall follows a settlement between Geely unit Vremt and battery supplier Sunwoda over battery quality disputes.

Sunwoda expects the impact on its 2025 net income to range from RMB 500 million ($72 million) to RMB 800 million.

The updated Zeekr 007 and 007 GT will feature versions equipped with the Nvidia Drive Thor-U driver assistance chip and a 900-volt high-voltage architecture.

Zeekr has launched the Zeekr 007 GT in six European countries, where it has been renamed the Zeekr 7 GT.
