Xpeng posts record deliveries and autonomous driving licenses

Xpeng announced record deliveries in October 2026, including more than 13,000 units outside China, as well as new driverless licenses in China, including for its joint venture with Volkswagen. These announcements supported the share price in Hong Kong and on Wall Street, where BlackRock increased its stake, but the bet on open-source AI is prompting caution among US investors. Commercial positions vary by market: Xpeng claims a registration record in Germany, first place in Israel, and overtaking Volvo in Norway, while in France it reaches 10,000 deliveries in two years while remaining far behind BYD and MG. In China, weekly orders surged after the launch of the MONA L05.
