Zeekr Group, a leading player in the electric vehicle market, has reported a significant growth in vehicle deliveries for the month of August. Despite a slight decline in deliveries for the Zeekr brand, the overall performance of the group has been commendable.
According to the latest data released by Zeekr Group, a total of 44,843 vehicles were delivered in August, marking a 10.61 percent increase compared to the same period last year. This also represents a 1.47 percent growth from the previous month of July.
The Zeekr brand, a subsidiary of Zeekr Group, delivered 17,626 vehicles in August. While this figure reflects a 2.16 percent decline year-on-year, there was a positive uptick of 3.82 percent from July. On the other hand, Lynk & Co, another brand under the Zeekr Group umbrella, reported a strong performance with 27,217 units delivered in August, representing a robust 20.81 percent growth year-on-year.

With a starting price of RMB 479,900 ($67,280) during pre-sales, the Zeekr 9X positions itself as one of the premium offerings from a Chinese domestic automaker.
Overall, the performance of Zeekr Group in August underscores its continued growth trajectory in the competitive electric vehicle market. With a diverse portfolio of brands and products, the group is well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving preferences of consumers and drive further growth in the future.
