What a busy few days at the Paris Motor Show! 🇫🇷 It’s exciting to see so many automotive brands showcasing their latest innovations in Paris, and to see growing interest in XPENG across Europe. One of the highlights has been advancing our autonomous driving work in Europe. Our NGP assisted driving system is one of only two automakers participating in the show’s official Autonomous Lab. If you're in Paris, join us at the XPENG stand before the show closes on 18 October. $XPEV

An exciting start to the Paris Motor Show! On opening day, we announced the global launch of XPENG G9L, our next-generation AI flagship SUV. Designed as a global vehicle from day one and set to become our fourth model manufactured in Europe, G9L marks an important step in our international journey. Come and see G9L at Hall 6. I can’t wait for you to experience it. Merci à tous! $XPEV

Ahead of the Paris Motor Show, it was fantastic to bring media friends and partners together at Place Vendôme for @XPENG_Global Paris Brand Night, where I joined @BernardCharles of Dassault Systèmes for a fireside chat. The excitement around Physical AI was palpable. AI is helping us tackle complex situations that cannot be anticipated or solved with code alone. But turning that potential into reality takes deep engineering expertise and collaboration. That’s why partnerships matter. By bringing together complementary strengths, we can accelerate the development of Physical AI and bring its benefits to more people. Thank you, Bernard, for an inspiring exchange. The next chapter of Physical AI is one I’m incredibly excited to be part of. $XPEV @Dassault3DS

Great to reconnect with familiar faces at the @MilkenInstitute Asia Summit in Singapore ahead of the @F1 weekend, where I joined Winston Cheng, David Jiang and Alain Lam to discuss the next wave of AI in the physical space. My view: Physical AI takes more than powerful models. It also depends on hardware, manufacturing, supply chains and the ability to deploy at scale. At @XPENG_Global , these capabilities connect our work in AI-defined vehicles and humanoid robotics. For investors, that broader picture matters: the opportunity lies not just in AI itself, but in what it takes to make it work in the physical world. Thanks to Milken for hosting such an insightful conversation. $XPEV

Great to be in Singapore for the Forbes Global CEO Conference, exchanging perspectives with Eduardo Saverin, Hans Tung and George Raymond Zage III on AI and building businesses for the long term. For me, humanoid robotics brings this into focus. Walking or dancing grabs attention. Lasting value comes from reliable, commercially viable applications in factories, retail and everyday life. At @XPENG_Global, this guides our investment decisions, from developing our own AI mobility chip to acquiring platforms like MONA. Knowing what to build and where to invest matters as much as moving fast. Thank you to @ForbesAsia for bringing us together. $XPEV

With the Asian Games underway in Aichi-Nagoya, it’s great to see Asia’s athletes and teams coming together. Recently, I hosted Captain Husain Al-Musallam, Director General of the Olympic Council of Asia and President of World Aquatics, at XPENG’s headquarters. As a former commercial airline pilot, he shared his thoughts on safety and intelligent mobility while experiencing the G9L, our next-generation AI flagship SUV. The G9L will soon arrive in the Middle East alongside the GX. I’m looking forward to seeing them on the roads there. $XPEV

Great to witness the official opening of the world’s first XPENG megawatt charging station in Hong Kong. Delivering 1-megawatt output with built-in energy storage, the station cuts wait times and overcomes local land and grid limits. As @XPENG_Global reaches 79 countries and connects to 3 million global charging points, our infrastructure is scaling alongside our vehicles. Over the next three years, we will deploy around 10,000 supercharging guns overseas, including around 500 in Hong Kong. Thank you to our honored guests, including The Honourable John Tsang and The Honourable Elizabeth Quat, and our partner Halo Energy for co-building this site. $XPEV #XPENG

Watching IRON navigate real-world interactions, remember faces, and seamlessly switch languages feels like a defining moment. For a long time, we’ve talked about our AI and autonomous driving architecture as a software advantage for EVs. But seeing that exact same intelligence come alive in a physical, humanoid form proves a bigger point: the boundary between smart mobility and robotics is blurring. We are continuously refining this technology, and this real-world milestone offers a practical glimpse into where we are heading. $XPEV #EmbodiedAI #Robotics
Real-world interaction test: Four capabilities show just how human-like IRON is. Autonomous orientation, dynamic identity memory, seamless multilingual switching, multi-intelligence Q&A. XPENG IRON recognizes you, understands you, and responds to you. $XPEV

"Why robots?" It's a natural evolution. Modern vehicle development is now closer to robotics than traditional automaking. At @XPENG_Global , we are driving the #PhysicalAI movement. Our EVs, flying cars, and humanoid robots all share the exact same core: Intelligence. Great exchange with @NicolaiTang1, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management.

Today, we gave a new colleague an employee badge — one that walked itself off the production line. Behind this moment is a major step for XPENG: our humanoid robot production line is now officially operational, with the world’s first advanced general-purpose humanoid robot completing automated final assembly and autonomously walking off the line. This takes us from R&D prototyping to line manufacturing, and one step closer to volume production — a key step in bringing our Physical AI strategy from the lab into the real world.
We made it! XPENG launches the world’s first automated production line for advanced general‑purpose humanoid robots. The world’s first advanced general‑purpose humanoid robot has completed automated production and autonomously walks off the line. $XPEV

Today, we opened a new chapter for XPENG at our Australia Brand Day. Australia is our home in the Southern Hemisphere, and we're committed to bringing the full XPENG experience here. This starts with five new AI vehicles arriving over the next six months, with NGP VLA 2.0 targeted to arrive in 2027, and extending to our broader vision for Physical AI. Looking forward to what we'll build together! $XPEV

In Melbourne for final rehearsals ahead of XPENG Australia Brand Day tomorrow, where we will officially introduce XPENG's next chapter in Australia. Beyond intelligent vehicles, we'll also be showcasing our broader vision for Physical AI and what's ahead. Looking forward to sharing more tomorrow! $XPEV

In London this week, we shared new research: 82% of Europeans say they understand AI, but only 21% feel comfortable with Physical AI and 13% would step into a fully autonomous vehicle. At XPENG, it's a reminder that earning trust is as important as advancing technology. $XPEV

Great to be back in Paris this week. Visited an XPENG store, met our partners and local team, and marked the delivery of P7+ to the first customer in France. With a record month for sales and XPENG France celebrating its 2nd anniversary, we're building strong momentum. $XPEV

Spoke at Magna's management conference in Austria, reinforcing that local manufacturing is key to XPENG's commitment to Europe. With P7+ rolling off the production line in Graz and our collaboration expanding to a fourth vehicle, it’s exciting to keep this momentum going. $XPEV

To mark #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, we recently welcomed families of children on the autism spectrum to our Guangzhou manufacturing base. A simple visit, but a meaningful one for many of the families — and a reminder to keep making technology more accessible and inclusive.
