This significant event was marked by a special ceremony at Zeekr‘s plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, where the electric vehicle (EV) maker also gifted the milestone car to an older Zeekr 001 owner who has driven 320,000 kilometers, the highest mileage among Zeekr owners.

The Zeekr 001, a shooting brake model, was launched on April 15, 2021, and deliveries began in October 2021. The model reached its 200,000th delivery in just 972 days, having previously hit the 10,000-delivery mark within 110 days.
