This is the fifth sequential increase in monthly deliveries for Zeekr. It delivered above 10,000 units each month in the fourth quarter of last year, but deliveries fell to 3,116 units in January, due in part to a plant shutdown for an upgrade.

In the first half of the year, Zeekr delivered 42,633 vehicles, up 124.27 percent from 19,010 vehicles in the same period last year.
Zeekr aims to double its deliveries this year from last year to about 140,000 units, which means it will need to deliver an average of about 16,230 vehicles per month in the second half of this year.
At the end of June, Zeekr's cumulative deliveries since its inception stood at 120,581 vehicles, according to data monitored by CnEVPost.

To meet full-year sales targets and to address the increasingly competitive EV market, Zeekr today announced the start of a limited-time free option benefit for the Zeekr 001, valid from July-September.
Chinese consumers will receive a free blue exterior trim valued at RMB 6,000 ($830) with the purchase of the entire Zeekr 001 model line.
