Zeekr Begins Deliveries in Italy as Part of European Rollout

Zeekr, the electric vehicle brand fully owned by Geely Holding Group, will commence deliveries in Italy this spring, introducing a four-model range priced between about €38,000 and €73,000. The launch, coordinated with distribution partner Jameel Motors, is positioned to tap rising demand for premium EVs and the country’s expanding charging network. The Italian entry follows Zeekr’s December market debut in Germany and its existing presence across several northern European markets.

Key Points

  • Zeekr, wholly owned by Geely Holding Group, will start delivering its four-model electric vehicle range in Italy this spring through distribution partner Jameel Motors.
  • Vehicle prices in Italy range from approximately €38,000 to €73,000 depending on model and options.
  • The Italy launch continues Zeekr’s European expansion following market entries in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and is timed to coincide with rising demand for premium EVs and investment in charging infrastructure.

Zeekr, the electric vehicle division fully owned by Geely Holding Group, is expanding its Europe footprint with a formal market entry in Italy. Starting Thursday, the company will begin delivering vehicles to Italian customers, marking the latest phase of its continent-wide roll-out.

The brand will introduce a four-vehicle lineup in Italy, with deliveries scheduled for the spring season. Those models will be available through Zeekr’s local distribution partner, Jameel Motors, according to a joint press release issued by the two companies.

Pricing for Zeekr’s range in Italy is set at roughly between €38,000 and €73,000, depending on the model and the selection of premium features. The company cites that price spread as reflecting the variety of configurations and equipment levels across the four vehicles.

Lothar Schupet, acting CEO of Zeekr Europe, described Italy as a key market for the brand’s European strategy and said the timing of the launch corresponds with growing demand for premium electric vehicles as well as continued investment in the country’s charging infrastructure. Those two factors were highlighted as central to the company’s decision to begin deliveries now.

The Italian introduction follows Zeekr’s initial launch in Germany in December. Prior to Italy, Zeekr had already established a presence in several European countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

By coordinating with Jameel Motors for distribution and timing the deliveries to coincide with spring, Zeekr intends to align its market entry with a period where buyers and infrastructure momentum are expected to be more favorable. The company’s stated approach places emphasis on both product positioning and local distribution capability as it expands across Europe.


Sectors affected: Automotive manufacturing, electric vehicle retail, and charging infrastructure deployment.

Risks

  • Launch timing depends on sustained consumer demand for premium electric vehicles in Italy; if demand weakens the planned deliveries may face slower uptake - impacts automotive retail and EV manufacturers.
  • The rollout relies on the capacity and performance of distribution partner Jameel Motors to execute deliveries and retail operations; distribution execution issues could affect sales and customer experience - impacts automotive retail and aftersales services.
  • Zeekr’s Italian pricing bands assume continued investment in charging infrastructure; slower or uneven infrastructure deployment could complicate adoption for some buyers - impacts charging infrastructure and EV adoption rates.
