Zeekr Legal Department: The online rumor that Weirui Motor uses "manual stator winding" is false information

On the evening of February 13, the legal department of Zeekr issued a statement saying that the so-called "manual stator winding" and the rumored on-site photos of the motors produced by VMware that were circulated on the Internet were all false information. After investigation and confirmation, the so-called "production site photos" circulated on the Internet were on-site photos of the relocation of the factory building of Changzhou Longnai Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., not a normal production environment. The company was one of VMware's early sample pilot suppliers, and it was not a supplier of the normal mass production system. The statement said that the photographer of the photo was a former employee of Changzhou Longnai Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., who fabricated false information by illegal photography and out-of-context quotations, and was suspected of infringing on the trade secrets of related companies and damaging their business reputation. At present, Changzhou Longnai Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has reported the case to the public security organs and resolutely pursued its legal responsibility. The legal department of Zeekr stated that taking the stator winding process as an example, VMware uses automatic winding equipment for production, and there is no "manual stator winding" situation that is obviously contrary to common sense in the rumors.
