Xpeng: record deliveries and robotaxi advances

Xpeng announced more than 20,000 deliveries of its MONA L03 in October 2026 and a quarterly record of 118,390 deliveries, while obtaining a Level 4 robotaxi license in Guangzhou and targeting a Level 4 autonomous driving rollout by the end of 2028. These announcements supported the stock in Hong Kong and the United States, where analysts consider it undervalued after the record, and BlackRock increased its stake to 6.12%. Internationally, Xpeng claims more than 13,000 deliveries outside China in October, overtakes Volvo in Norway and leads the electric vehicle market in Israel from January to October 2026. Differences between countries mainly reflect these commercial positions and stock market reactions, with no fundamental divergence reported in the sub-events.
