Xpeng posts record deliveries and advances in robotaxis

Xpeng highlighted record deliveries in October 2026, including more than 13,000 units outside China, as well as advances in robotaxis and the obtaining of new autonomous driving permits in China. These announcements supported the stock on the stock market, in Hong Kong as well as on Wall Street, and led BlackRock to raise its stake. US investors remain cautious, however, about the bet on open-source AI and the automaker's valuation. National dynamics differ: Xpeng surpasses Volvo in Norway, where Chinese brands reach a record 22.5% market share, sets a registration record in Germany with a target of 22,000 units in 2027, claims 10,000 deliveries in France in two years while still far behind BYD and MG, and leads the electric vehicle market in Israel.
