BAIC New Energy holds Smart Mobility Technology Day and unveils major L3 and L4 autonomy milestones

Jan 12, 2026 · Product Launch · BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. · Automotive

  • At its Smart Mobility Technology Day in Beijing, BAIC New Energy announced that the ARCFOX Alpha S (L3 version) had formally entered scaled road-trial pilot operations after receiving one of China's first L3 autonomous-driving production approvals.
  • The event also marked the 2.0 stage of BAIC New Energy's strategic cooperation with Pony.ai in L4 autonomy, following more than 600 mass-produced ARCFOX Alpha T5 Robotaxi vehicles already built and put into scaled trial operation in Beijing and Shenzhen.
  • BAIC positioned the launch as a move from product approval into commercial rollout, with additional L3-equipped premium models planned and broader user access expected from the second quarter of 2026 as supporting policies mature.

BluePark is a new-energy vehicle company connected to intelligent mobility and electric-vehicle infrastructure rather than a core robot-builder profile.
