Still China's CBU, Zeekr Hasn't Planned A Local Rakit
JAKARTA - The premium car brand from China, namely Zeekr, officially entered the Indonesian automotive market with two models at once, namely Zeekr X and MPV 009 which launched at the GJAW 2024 event.
The two models presented by Zeekr in the Indonesian market are still Completely Built Up (CBU) or are still imported entirely from their home country of China.
Given that many Chinese brands have assembled their local cars in Indonesia, then is Zeekr planning in the near future?
Responding to this, Lano Tungka, Marketing & Public Relations Head of PT Premium Auto Prima as the Zeekr Brand Holder Agent (APM), revealed that the discussion of local assembly was interesting.
"Currently, because it is still new in Indonesia, we focus on introducing brands first," he said, when met in the ICE BSD area, Tangerang, Tuesday, November 26.
He further said that currently Zeekr will try to introduce the brand to consumers, as well as explain its position in the Indonesian automotive market.
"We will also prepare good aftersales to consumers and can be reached more easily," he added.
