BEIJING (Reuters) – Zeekr Group, Geely’s new car subsidiary created after merging its two premium brands of Zeekr and Lynk & Co, said on Friday that it plans to expand overseas sales network to a total of over 200 stores this year.
Europe, Middle East and East Asia markets would be in focus for the two brands to explore opportunities beyond the home turf, China, as they aim to establish a unified sales company, according to a statement.
Additionally, a new model equipped with level 3 autonomous driving technology is set to be debuted at the Shanghai auto show in April before entering mass production by the year-end, Zeekr said.
An intelligent development department would be created this year to ride the smart driving wave, it added.
