Chinese automaker Zeekr has officially started its commercial operations at Espanha with the introduction of four fully electric vehicle models. The brand belongs to the Geely group and operates specifically in the premium automotive segment. The arrival in the European country takes place through an initial network made up of seven dealers already in full operation. The focus is on high standards. The company has set a goal of registering 600 units by the end of 2026, marking a new phase in the region’s energy transition.

The strategic move aims to position the Asian manufacturer as a direct competitor to the traditional German brands that dominate the luxury sector at Europa. The Spanish operation is in partnership with Salvador Caetano Auto, a company designated to manage the import of cars and coordinate technical assistance services throughout the territory. The business plan foresees rapid territorial capillarity over the next few months to sustain sales volume. The long-term goal stipulates reaching 3,500 vehicle deliveries by the end of 2028.

Estratégia commercial and expansion goals in the European market

Entry into Spanish territory consolidates Zeekr’s presence in 16 countries on the European continent. The company’s management assesses the local scenario as a dynamic and highly receptive environment for new sustainable mobility technologies. The manufacturer’s expansion schedule includes the future opening of commercial operations in Portugal, França, Itália and Alemanha. The Geely group uses the vast experience acquired with other brands in its portfolio, such as Volvo and Polestar, to structure the technological and logistical base of the new subsidiary.

The initial distribution network concentrates points of sale in strategic regions with high commercial volume and purchasing power. The current structure encompasses three dealers in the capital Madrid, two units in Barcelona, in addition to physical stores in the cities of Málaga and Valência. Corporate planning determines the expansion of this infrastructure to 16 service points distributed across 13 Spanish provinces before the end of the current year. The alliance with Salvador Caetano Auto guarantees the standardization of customer service and operational efficiency at Península Ibérica.
