Zeekr Intelligent Technology Malaysia, the premium electric vehicle (EV) subsidiary of Chinese automaker Geely, has reached a significant milestone by achieving 2,000 vehicle deliveries in just one year since its official launch in December 2024.
This achievement underscores the growing appetite for high-end EVs in Malaysia, a market increasingly embracing sustainable mobility solutions.
Zeekr's Rapid Rise in Malaysia's EV Market
The brand’s success reflects not only its cutting-edge technology but also the strategic focus on catering to Malaysia's evolving automotive preferences.
Zeekr, launched globally in 2021, was designed to compete with luxury EV giants like Tesla and Nio, and its entry into Malaysia marks a pivotal step in Geely’s global expansion strategy.
Since its debut, the company has introduced multiple models, with the Zeekr 7X Performance AWD being the 2,000th vehicle delivered, highlighting the diversity of its offerings.
Impact on Malaysia's Green Mobility Goals
This milestone aligns with Malaysia’s national push towards greener transportation, supported by government incentives for EV adoption and infrastructure development.
The presence of Zeekr in the market is likely to spur competition, potentially driving down prices and accelerating the shift away from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.
Historically, Geely has been a dominant player in the automotive industry, and its focus on premium EVs through Zeekr signals a transformative shift in how Chinese brands are perceived globally.
Looking Ahead: Zeekr's Future in Malaysia
Looking to the future, Zeekr’s partnerships with local charging point operators (CPOs) to offer special rates for owners indicate a commitment to enhancing the EV ownership experience.
Industry analysts predict that Zeekr could play a key role in shaping Malaysia’s EV landscape, especially as the brand plans further model introductions and market penetration.
As Geely continues to streamline its operations—evidenced by its move to take Zeekr private at a $6.83 billion valuation in 2025—the brand’s growth trajectory in Malaysia and beyond appears promising.
For now, Zeekr’s achievement of 2,000 deliveries stands as a testament to its innovative approach and Malaysia’s readiness to embrace a sustainable automotive future.
