Xpeng's Humanoid Robot Hits Trial Production in Guangzhou, Mass Production by 2026

Xpeng's humanoid robot has officially started small-scale trial production at its Guangzhou factory, marking a significant step toward mass production. The mass production line is now in its final integration phase, signaling that the countdown to full-scale manufacturing has begun.

CEO He Xiaopeng has taken a hands-on approach, personally serving as the "CEO" of the robot business to coordinate and accelerate its commercialization. According to the company's internal mass production mobilization plan, Xpeng aims to achieve mass production of humanoid robots by 2026. Starting in 2027, the robots are expected to be gradually deployed in Xpeng's offline stores and other commercial scenarios, taking on service roles such as guidance and explanation.

Xpeng's robot business benefits from deep integration with the group's core capabilities in hardware development, AI large models, supply chain management, and marketing. The company systematically reuses the mature experience accumulated in its automotive business, including software and hardware collaborative R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and global channel construction.

As embodied intelligence becomes a key breakthrough for integrating artificial intelligence with the physical world, Xpeng is accelerating the large-scale production and commercialization of high-end humanoid robots through a cross-industry collaboration model that combines cars and robots. This approach paves the way for applying embodied intelligence terminals in service and retail scenarios.
