Xpeng claims advances in robotaxis and record deliveries

Xpeng announced in early November 2026 a breakthrough in its robotaxis and the obtaining of autonomous driving licenses in China, while publishing record deliveries in October and more than 13,000 units exported during the month. These announcements supported the stock on the Hong Kong and Wall Street exchanges, and the manufacturer highlights commercial positions in Norway, Israel, and Germany, as well as 10,000 deliveries in France over two years. In China and Hong Kong, the market reacts mainly to delivery records and orders for the MONA L05, while in the United States, the bet on open-source AI prompts investor caution despite the stock rise.
