Wallan Trading Company, a prominent player in the Saudi automotive sector, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Zeekr Automotive, a cutting-edge electric vehicle manufacturer. This innovative collaboration is perfectly aligned with the goals of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to have 30% of Riyadh's vehicles fully electric by 2030. Wallan and Zeekr are joining forces to revolutionize the automotive landscape in Saudi Arabia by introducing vehicles that combine advanced technology with luxurious design, contributing to a cleaner and more environmentally friendly future.
Fahad Al-Wallan, Chairman of Wallan Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing that Wallan Trading Company is always seeking to associate itself with brands that embody innovation, quality, and customer-centric values. Zeekr Automotive perfectly fits this criterion. He noted that this partnership not only accelerates their vision but also aligns with the Saudi government's objectives of economic diversification, sustainability, and green energy adoption.
Zeekr, a subsidiary of Geely Automobile Holdings, was established in 2021 and specializes in electric mobility, leveraging its groundbreaking Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA). Valued at $13 billion as of February 2023, Zeekr collaborates with tech leaders like Mobileye and Waymo and is at the forefront of electric mobility and clean energy commitment. Their state-of-the-art electric vehicles feature CATL's long-range Qilin batteries, offering an impressive electric range of over 1000 km. This aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 targets, which aim to make Riyadh and other major cities hubs for electric mobility and green energy.
Fahad Al-Wallan emphasized the alignment between Zeekr's technological expertise and commitment to clean energy and Wallan's dedication to delivering exceptional automotive experiences in Saudi Arabia while supporting the nation's sustainability goals.
Market analysis suggests that Saudi consumers are increasingly interested in vehicles that combine luxury with sustainability, advanced technology, and contributions to green energy initiatives. Zeekr is well-suited to meet these preferences and plays a significant role in fulfilling the Saudi Government's objectives for Riyadh and Vision 2030.
Wallan Trading Company plans to unveil Zeekr showrooms in key cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Alkhobar, providing prospective customers with an immersive experience that embodies the essence of electric luxury.
