The Hangzhou-based automaker said Wednesday that it proposed to privatize Zeekr by acquiring all of its issued and outstanding shares and its American depositary shares. The move will help 'drive deep integration and efficient collaboration of internal resources, eliminate redundant investments, reduce costs, enhance corporate competitiveness and create long-term value,' Geely said in a statement.
