Zeekr has teamed up with Autohub Group, a Philippine dealer, to bolster its international presence. The partnership, formalized with an agreement signed on March 4 in Hangzhou, where Zeekr is headquartered, marks a significant step in the company’s expansion strategy.
As part of the partnership, Zeekr will introduce its Zeekr 001 and Zeekr X models to the Philippine market. Local pre-sales and deliveries of both battery electric vehicle (BEV) models are slated to commence in the second quarter of this year.

Additionally, the first Zeekr Space in the Philippines is set to open in Manila’s business and financial center area in the first half of 2024.
Zeekr’s approach to entering international markets varies, with the company establishing directly managed stores in some regions while partnering with local dealers in others. In Europe, for example, Zeekr entered the market in June 2023 and initiated vehicle deliveries in December of the same year. The company has since established several directly operated stores across Europe.
