Xpeng Delivers 39,107 Vehicles In August, Up 4% Year On Year

Xpeng delivered 39,107 vehicles in August, up 4% from a year earlier, according to ETNet. On August 11, the company officially launched the G9L in mainland China and opened pre-sales. Xpeng also said its robotaxi business validation accelerated in August after it obtained remote testing qualification for intelligent connected vehicles in Guangzhou. The company said it can conduct road tests without a safety officer in the driver’s seat on relevant first-, second- and third-tier test roads in Guangzhou, entering a key stage of driverless validation. From January to August, Xpeng said the electric vehicles it delivered are expected to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 3.72 million tonnes compared with internal combustion engine vehicles, equivalent to the carbon absorption of 61.6 million small trees over 10 years.
