  • XPENG said the first mass-produced unit of its robotaxi rolled off the production line at its Guangzhou headquarters.
  • The robotaxi is built on the XPENG GX platform and is described by XPENG as China first production-ready, pre-assembled robotaxi model developed entirely through full-stack in-house technologies.
  • The vehicle is part of XPENG Physical AI roadmap, with pilot operations planned for the second half of 2026 and fully driverless operations targeted for early 2027.

XPeng is an EV manufacturer. In late 2025 it unveiled IRON, a humanoid developed using its existing autonomy stack, battery expertise, and in-house manufacturing capability.
