The Chinese electric automotive brand Zeekr, part of Geely Automobile Holdings, has started the new year by announcing it has partnered with leading mapping and navigation provider Mapbox.
Since its founding in 2021, Zeekr has been making waves in the automotive sector. Although it practices its trade in one of the world’s most competitive industries, the brand is continuing to hold its position near the top of the tree, thanks to constant technological advancements that help it build on its loyal legion of fans.
Its newest announcement of a partnership with Mapbox continues the theme.
Zeekr’s Software-designed Vehicles (SDV) make it easier to implement the latest technological advancements. The integration of Mapbox’s navigation platform is a perfect example.
The mapping and navigation provider’s navigation software means that Zeekr drivers will experience up-to-date navigation in their state-of-the-art electric vehicles, which will adapt to their needs during their journeys. In addition, the navigation platform will be regularly updated without the need for hardware.
The real-time, cloud-based navigation system from Mapbox helps solidify Zeekr’s future-proofing ethos and will ensure smooth and efficient trip planning for drivers. The platform will also help drivers easily locate suitable charging stations and allow them to set a minimum state of charge upon arrival for added peace of mind.
The map interface will be available in 2D, 3D, and a satellite view. Drivers will receive real-time traffic updates, recommendations for rest stops, and re-routing features should they encounter a delay. Another handy feature of the navigation platform is that it allows drivers to share audio feedback and screen recordings directly with the navigation team.
The fruits of the Zeekr/Mapbox partnership will be shown at CES 2025 (Las Vegas) in January. The Zeekr stand is located at LVCC West Hall booth 5640.
