Graced by the Autohub Group’s President Mr. Willy Tee Ten and Zeekr’s ASEAN Leader Mr. Alex Bao, the brand launch is the first of many markers of progress of the Autohub Group’s partnership with the leading electric vehicle manufacturer under the Geely Holding Group.

“The Zeekr vehicles that we are launching today, which push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology, represent the Autohub Group’s commitment to introducing future-forward and sustainable mobility solutions that are tailor-fit to the Philippine market,” says Willy Tee Ten. “This grand launch marks only the beginning of an even stronger partnership with Zeekr to deliver the future of driving.”

Headquartered in Ningbo in Zhejiang Province in China, Zeekr is a combination of the words, “Generation Z” and “Geek.” Founded in 2021 and designed to compete with the likes of Tesla, Zeekr has the capacity to produce up to 300,000 vehicles a year. Aside from Ningbo, Zeekr also has R&D centers in Gothenburg in Sweden and Shanghai. Its design center is in both Gothenburg and Shanghai as well.

Zeekr uses Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) and includes its own battery technologies, battery management systems, electric motor technologies, and electric vehicle supply chain. This helps provide fast charging times.

“The launch of these Zeekr vehicles today will definitely accelerate the shift toward electric mobility solutions in the Philippines, which is a key market for us at Zeekr,” says Alex Bao. “We are confident that the Autohub Group, with its proven track record and strong market presence, can help push the Philippines toward more sustainable solutions and deliver more innovative products to Filipino consumers.”
