Zeekr reported delivering 15,655 vehicles in July, a decrease of 22.14% from 20,106 units in June. Despite this decline, the company experienced a significant year-over-year increase of 30.04% compared to 12,039 units delivered in July of the previous year.
The drop in deliveries was attributed to ongoing upgrades to Zeekr’s production line, as the company undertook maintenance and retrofitted its equipment during the summer. A spokesperson for Zeekr told CnEVPost, “We conducted maintenance on our equipment and upgraded our production line to accommodate the capacity needs for upcoming new models.”
Zeekr is targeting a delivery goal of 30,000 units per month for the fourth quarter. Year-to-date, the company has delivered 103,525 vehicles, marking an 89.36% increase compared to the same period last year. As of the end of July, Zeekr’s cumulative deliveries since inception have reached 300,158 vehicles.

The company announced earlier today that it had achieved its 300,000th delivery milestone and noted that the production line upgrade is expected to be completed by mid-August. This upgrade is intended to support continued growth and meet the demands of new products and orders.
The maintenance period during the hot summer months is a common practice in the automotive industry. In addition to Zeekr’s production adjustments, Great Wall Motor’s premium brand Tank also announced a temporary shutdown of its three factories for maintenance until the end of July.
