Xpeng Inc.’s robot unit plans to raise $900 million from investors including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd., bolstering the automaker’s push into humanoid robots.

Chinese automaker Xpeng said on Monday its robotics unit had raised more than $900 million ‌in its first funding round, setting a new ‌record for a single private financing in China's embodied AI sector. The funding round, ​led by IDG Capital and backed by strategic investors Tencent and Alibaba, values the robotics business at more than $6.3 billion, Xpeng said in a statement. The proceeds will be used to develop ‌robotics hardware and software, ⁠train and refine physical AI models, collect high-quality data, build end-to-end mass-production facilities, and support global ⁠expansion, the company said.

The chief executive of Xpeng said on Wednesday he would personally lead the company’s robotics business, ‌as the Chinese electric vehicle maker — emerging as a ‌frontrunner in humanoid robotics among automakers — pushes toward mass production by year-end. "The (robot) industry is ​becoming increasingly hot and competitive, and we have clearly seen the direction and timing of victory, but it still requires more arduous implementation and extremely high decision-making ability," Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng said in an internal ‌letter reviewed by Reuters. He ⁠said the decision to take on the role of "CEO" of the robotics unit, effective immediately, comes "on the eve ⁠of mass production and commercialisation" of Xpeng's humanlike IRON robots, which debuted last year.

Electric vehicle maker Xpeng on Thursday forecast second-quarter revenue below market expectations, underscoring a prolonged slowdown in demand ‌and stiff competition in the Chinese EV market. Domestic car sales in ‌China fell for a seventh straight month in April, with industry estimates showing that EV ​and plug-in hybrid sales growth were likely to slow in 2026 after years of rapid expansion. Still, Chinese EV makers are betting on advanced driver-assistance systems, feature-rich vehicles and broader model lineups to help navigate the downturn.

Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng said ‌on Monday it had ‌begun mass production of its first ​robotaxi at its Guangzhou headquarters, targeting fully driverless operations by early 2027. The Tesla rival is accelerating ‌its shift ⁠toward driverless vehicles and humanoid robotics as competition ⁠intensifies in the world’s largest auto market. The new robotaxi, ​built on ​Xpeng's GX ​platform, is China’s ‌first "production-ready, pre-assembled robotaxi model developed entirely with in-house technologies," the company said.

Volkswagen is accelerating its China strategy by deepening partnerships with local technology and electric vehicle makers, including Xpeng, as it faces intensifying competition and a prolonged price war. The company is pushing greater localisation across manufacturing, R&D and product development to shorten vehicle cycles and cut costs. The strategy comes as China's auto market shifts toward replacement buyers and faster innovation, putting pressure on foreign carmakers to adapt quickly.
