On December 1, ZEEKR announced the delivery data for November - 13,104 units, a year-on-year increase of 190%。So far, ZEEKR's delivery volume this year has achieved a year-on-year increase for 10 consecutive months. Although in terms of delivery volume, ZEEKR, which has been established for less than two years, is still slightly inferior to "Wei Xiaoli", which has been cultivated for many years, it took only 25 months for ZEEKR to achieve the goal of delivering more than 180,000 in total, which is far faster than "Wei Xiaoli". Not only that, under the huge delivery volume, ZEEKR also maintains a record of zero spontaneous combustion and is invincible in terms of safety.
With the acceleration of deliveries and sales, ZEEKR's road to the sea is also accelerating. After full consideration, ZEEKR's first overseas stop was chosen in Europe. As we all know, the European automobile market has a long history, and it is not only the world of oil cars, but also the base camp of luxury car brands, such as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Bentley, etc., which we are familiar with, were born in Europe.
Therefore, ZEEKR's trip to Europe is basically no different from opening up the wasteland. After careful consideration, ZEEKR chose to let ZEEKR 001 and ZEEKR X take the lead in opening pre-sales in the European market as the vanguard. At the same time, ZEEKR is also actively preparing for offline direct stores. In November, Stockholm registered the first ZEEKR center store in Europe, taking the first step on the road of European localization of ZEEKR. Starting from Stockholm, ZEEKR will also open a store in the Netherlands in December. By 2024, ZEEKR plans to enter 6 European countries and cover most of the core countries in Western Europe by 2026.
In October this year, ZEEKR and BNP Paribas & Arval reached a strategic financial cooperation in Europe to provide ZEEKR users with financial solutions, all-round leasing business support and insurance services covering all aspects of travel, to meet the needs of users in the European market and accelerate the development process of ZEEKR's new energy market in Europe.
In addition to the European market, ZEEKR has also set foot in the Middle East and Central Asia, signed agreements with partners in Israel and Kazakhstan, and landed in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain in the four Middle East and Gulf countries. In addition, ZEEKR also signed a cooperation agreement with Jinlong Group in October, and in 2024, ZEEKR right-hand drive models will be launched and sold in Hong Kong and Macao simultaneously.
As an independent brand established less than three years ago, in less than a year, ZEEKR has opened its own brand from the Asian continent to Europe and gained a firm foothold. This is undoubtedly a ray of hope for independent brands that are in trouble at sea. 2023 will pass, and in 2024, I believe that more brands will follow in the footsteps of ZEEKR and move towards the base camp of "oil trucks", so that the world can see the intelligent power from the East.
