Zeekr answers again – still wants to go to Denmark

Volvo's sister brand in the Geely group, Zeekr, rejects reports that the company is postponing its launch plans in Denmark.

Recently it appeared that the Chinese car brand Zeekr withdrew from Denmark. The brand will therefore not be attending the electric car exhibition eCarExpo this year either.

But now Zeekr is turning a plate. In a statement which, among other things, is sent to the Boosted editorial office, the car brand corrects its own announcements.

– Zeekr sticks to its plan for expansion in Europe. Germany, France, Denmark and other Western European markets remain a fixed part of our plans, reads a statement from the company.

At the same time, Zeekr says that they are also preparing for an immediate launch on 'a new European market', and that this will be announced in the course of the coming weeks.

The fact that Zeekr is not launching its cars in Denmark at the moment, as was otherwise in the cards in connection with eCarExpo, is directly due to the upcoming punitive tariffs from the EU.

The tariff affects all electric cars that are built in China and shipped to Europe. It has also affected brands such as Tesla and Volvo. The latter has, among other things, responded by announcing that production of the small EX30 is moving to the brand's factory in Belgium.

Here at home, the EX30 is a small and popular electric car. But even though the car is relatively new, it is also full of faults. In fact, there are so many faults with the car that Volvo importers elsewhere in Europe have already taken cars back from angry customers. Read more about it here .
