Zeekr to Launch Hybrid Model in H2 2025 in Major Strategy Shift
Zeekr will launch a flagship SUV in the second half of 2025 that will offer a variant with a new electric-hybrid powertrain technology, its CEO said.
Zeekr將在2025年下半年推出旗艦SUV,該車型將提供一種新的電動混合動力科技變體,該公司的CEO表示。
The battery electric vehicle (BEV) camp is about to lose one more stalwart, with Zeekr (NYSE: ZK) confirming it will launch a hybrid model.
電池電動汽車(BEV)陣營即將失去另一位中流砥柱,Zeekr(紐交所:ZK)確認將推出混合動力車型。
Zeekr will launch a flagship SUV (sport utility vehicle) in the second half of 2025, which will be powered by Nvidia's Drive Thor autonomous driving chip and will offer variants featuring a new electric-hybrid powertrain technology.
Zeekr將在2025年下半年推出一款旗艦SUV(運動型多用途汽車),該車將由英偉達的Drive Thor自動駕駛芯片提供動力,並將提供採用新的電動混合動力科技的變體。
Andy An, president of Geely Holding Group, CEO of Zeekr, mentioned the plan today in Geely Automobile Holdings Limited's 2024 interim results announcement, marking the first time a Zeekr executive has mentioned a timeline for the launch of a hybrid model.
吉利控股集團總裁、Zeekr CEO安聰謙今天在吉利汽車控股有限公司2024年中期業績公告中提及了該計劃,這是Zeekr高管首次提及混合動力車型推出時間表。
The flagship SUV, which is expected to go on sale in the third quarter of 2025, uses a hybrid technology that combines the advantages of plug-in hybrid and extended-range hybrid technologies, and will be better for users in terms of power, An said.
這款旗艦SUV預計將於2025年第三季度上市,採用結合插電混合動力和增程式混合動力技術優勢的混合科技,將對用戶在動力方面更有優勢,安聰謙表示。
The system provides the same racking experience as BEVs in extended-range mode, while the engine is engaged to drive the vehicle at highway speeds, thus solving the problem of high fuel consumption of traditional extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) models at highway speeds, according to An.
該系統在增程式模式下提供與BEV相同的貨架體驗,同時發動機被啓動以在高速公路速度下驅動車輛,從而解決了傳統增程式電動車(EREV)高速公路速度下高燃油消耗的問題,安聰謙表示。
This means that yet another new Chinese EV maker, which currently only offers BEVs, will start offering hybrid models as they are more popular with local consumers.
這意味着又一家目前僅提供BEV的中國新能源汽車製造商將開始推出混合動力車型,因爲它們在當地消費者中更受歡迎。
Earlier today, Avatr Technology, an EV brand backed by Changan Automobile, CATL, and Huawei, launched its extended-range system.
今天,由長安汽車、CATL和華爲支持的電動汽車品牌Avatr Technology推出了它的增程系統。
Most of China's earliest EV startups targeted the BEV market in the beginning, but experience over the past few years has shown that consumers prefer hybrids without range anxiety.
中國大部分最早的電動汽車初創公司最初瞄準了純電動汽車市場,但在過去幾年的經驗表明,消費者更喜歡沒有續航焦慮的混合動力汽車。
Additionally, the huge success of Li Auto (NASDAQ: LI) in the EREV market is further evidence of the greater acceptance of such models.
此外,理想汽車(納斯達克:LI)在增程延伸電動汽車市場取得巨大成功,進一步證明了人們對這種車型更廣泛接受。
New Chinese car makers that originally offered only BEVs, including Leapmotor and Neta Auto, have all begun offering additional EREVs in the past few years, while Nio (NYSE: NIO) and Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV) still offer only BEVs and have previously made it clear that they don't have any plans to launch EREVs.
最初只提供純電動汽車的中國新能源汽車製造商,包括理想汽車和哪吒汽車,在過去幾年都開始提供增程延伸電動汽車,而蔚來(紐交所:NIO)和小鵬汽車(紐交所:XPEV)仍然只提供純電動汽車,並明確表示他們沒有任何計劃推出增程延伸電動汽車。

Zeekr has previously raised the possibility of launching hybrid models in the future.
Zeekr以前提出了未來可能推出混合動力車型的可能性。
Offering hybrid models is not difficult for Zeekr, and it is not ruled out in the future, but for now it remains focused on the BEV segment, An told media including CnEVPost after launching the all-new Zeekr 009 MPV on July 19 in Hong Kong.
