GEELY Holding's other brands are also successful
For example, Lynk & Co's reports show that in 2022 it sold 180,127 cars and reached high figures in the global market. As of February 2023, cumulative sales of the brand have exceeded 850,000 units. The new model, Lynk & Co 09, with a market price of 42 thousand dollars, took the brand to new heights.
As for Zeekr, GEELY's global electrotechnological solutions brand, its success is related to increasing the supply of Zeekr 001, the first product of its brand in 2022. Within a year, the company sold 71,941 cars, thus surpassing its own plan. Prior to the sales announcement, the brand aimed to sell at least 70,000 cars per year. The $ 47,000 Zeekr became the leader of the luxury electric vehicle segment in 2022.
The brand soon launched a second model, the Zeekr 009, which averaged $ 73,000 and became the world's most expensive fully electrified, multifunctional vehicle.
Export
Export results are also read in published reports. Overseas sales reached 194,242 units, an increase of 72.4% over the previous year, and thus it also exceeded the industry average growth.

Europe-Asia appropriation
As of March 2023, Lynk & Co has opened official dealerships in several European countries, including: the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Spain. In doing so, it ensured stable annual sales in Europe.
The brand has not forgotten Asia either and entered the markets of Israel and Saudi Arabia in July. This was another step forward in Lynk & Co's Central Asia-Pacific globalization strategy.
Future plans
