BEIJING: Dewc 31 (Reuters) China\u2019s Geely Holding said its premium electric mobility brand, Zeekr, will make electric vehicles for Waymo, Alphabet Inc\u2019s self-driving unit, to be deployed as fully autonomous ride-hailing vehicles across the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vehicles will be designed and developed at Zeekr\u2019s facility in Sweden, and later integrated with Waymo\u2019s self-driving technology, Geely said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept images Waymo published on Tuesday show a roomy, low-to-the-ground minivan with seating for about five riders and sliding doors on each side serving as the lone entryways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waymo is the first and only fully driverless taxi service in the US. It has driven thousands of people since launching the service a year ago in Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership with Zeekr will help Waymo expand its driverless ride-hailing service in the face of increased competition, and also create inroads for Chinese brand Geely into the US market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
