Chinese EV Brand Zeekr Eyes European Manufacturing To Avoid EU Tariffs: Report
Chinese auto conglomerate Geely's luxury EV brand Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding Ltd (NYSE:ZK) is reportedly exploring manufacturing cars in European factories associated with its parent company to circumvent European Union tariffs and expand its global presence.
中國汽車集團吉利的豪華電動汽車品牌之一—吉利智造控股（NYSE:ZK）正在考慮在其母公司在歐洲的工廠製造汽車，以規避歐盟的關稅並擴大其全球業務範圍。
Currently, all Zeekr vehicles are produced in China and face a 19.9% duty on EU imports, reported Bloomberg.
目前，所有吉利智造的車輛都在中國生產，並面臨歐盟進口稅19.9%的關稅，彭博社報道。
Zeekr Chief Executive Officer Andy An stated in an interview that they are actively working on localizing production in Europe, with plans to utilize existing facilities within the Geely group or its European partners rather than building new factories.
吉利智造首席執行官安智（Andy An）在接受採訪時表示，他們正在積極推動本地化生產，並計劃利用吉利集團或其歐洲合作伙伴現有的設施，而非建造新工廠。
Local manufacturing in other regions is also being considered. Geely has Volvo Cars AB (OTC:VLVCY) plants in Sweden and Belgium and a London Electric Vehicle Co. base in the U.K.
在其他地區也正在考慮本地製造。吉利在瑞典和比利時擁有沃爾沃汽車公司（OTC：VLVCY）工廠以及倫敦電動汽車公司在英國的基地。
Zeekr's potential move to local manufacturing aims to mitigate the impact of escalating political tensions and increased tariffs on China-made cars in the EU, U.S., and Turkey.
吉利智造進行本地製造的潛在舉措旨在緩解歐盟、美國和土耳其對中國製造汽車徵收的不斷升級的政治緊張、增加的關稅的影響。
Zeekr is accelerating its international expansion, with deliveries beginning this year in the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia.
吉利智造正在加快其國際擴張，今年開始在中東、拉丁美洲和東南亞交付。
