The strong performance reflects the continued momentum of the One Geely strategy, with the Geely, Lynk & Co and Zeekr brands further expanding their presence across global markets.
The Geely brand accelerated its global expansion in the first half of 2026, with Europe and new energy vehicles serving as two key growth drivers. The brand entered seven European markets within just 45 days, including Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and France, reinforcing its presence in one of the world's most competitive automotive markets. Its signature Geely E5 (Geely EX5) and Geely STARRAY EM-i (Geely EX5 EM-i) models have now been introduced across over 20 European countries. In parallel, Geely further strengthened its distribution network by signing partnerships with leading dealership groups in Portugal, Austria and Switzerland. The Geely EX2 and Geely STARRAY EM-i continued to strengthen their international presence, with Brazil emerging as a standout market for the EX2 and the STARRAY EM-i becoming Australia's best-selling PHEV SUV in May.
The Lynk & Co brand further accelerated its international expansion. The flagship Lynk & Co 900 entered the UAE, Egypt, Qatar and Vietnam, while the Lynk & Co 08 launched in Kazakhstan, with initial customer deliveries commencing. The Lynk & Co 08 also ranked as the best-selling D-segment PHEV in key markets including Vietnam and Mexico.
The Zeekr brand surpassed 800,000 cumulative deliveries worldwide, marking a major milestone in its global development. During the first five months of 2026, Zeekr led Hong Kong's luxury vehicle market with a 40.7% market share. The Zeekr 7X led the luxury SUV segment in Hong Kong during the same period and ranked first in Mexico's luxury EV segment in April and May, while the Zeekr 009 became Thailand's best-selling electric MPV during the first five months of the year.
Supporting its continued global expansion, Geely Auto further strengthened its international operating capabilities during the first half of 2026.
