As of the date of this annual report, we are not subject to any material cybersecurity risks in our supply chain based on third party products, software, or services used in our products, services and business. If there is any cybersecurity incident in our supply chain, we might experience disruption or discontinue of our suppliers’ services. To mitigate such risks, we have set up a designated team to closely monitor and detect cybersecurity risks, as well as development of cybersecurity measures.
Quality Control
Our all-rounded quality control system is designed to provide our customers with full lifecycle care and assurance regarding the key aspects of a vehicle, ranging from product design to after-sales services. Before a new product is released, we typically run vehicle testing measures, including critical testing measures, to ensure high quality.
For example, prior to our delivery of Zeekr 001 in October 2021, we had performed approximately 1.44 million kilometers of road tests including enhanced reliability tests on proving grounds and vehicle durability tests on roads for general users. The tests cover road environment tests under extreme working conditions such as extreme temperatures and humidity as well as high altitudes. We not only resolve quality issues as they emerge, but also preemptively assess and prevent issues. Before the mass production of Zeekr 001, we conducted special inspection and prevented the safety, environmental protection, reliability issues that other automakers have encountered.
Intellectual Property
We have developed a number of proprietary systems and technologies, and our success depends on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. We utilize a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and confidentiality policies to protect our proprietary rights.
As of December 31, 2024, we had 2,277 patents (including 192 invention patents) and 3,904 pending patent applications, which we have invested significant resources to develop. In addition, we have been licensed 589 and 1,769 registered trademarks in mainland China and overseas from Geely Holding, respectively, and Geely Holding has 1,084 pending trademark applications relating to our business in China and certain other jurisdictions.
