Pony AI Partners With Stellantis to Deploy Robotaxis in Europe
By Jiahui Huang
Chinese autonomous driving technology company Pony AI is collaborating with auto giant Stellantis to deploy robotaxis in Europe, as global competition among Chinese robotaxi companies heats up.
Stellantis and Pony AI have agreed to deploy robotaxis in Europe and plan to launch test robotaxis in Luxembourg in coming months, the two companies said Friday. Pony AI's European division is based in Luxembourg.
The companies will gradually roll out robotaxi services across European cities from 2026, according to the joint statement.
The partnership will initially focus on light commercial vehicles, by integrating Stellantis' medium-sized van with Pony AI's advanced autonomous driving software.
"Driverless vehicles have the potential to transform the way people move in our cities, offering safer and more affordable options for communities," said Ned Curic, Stellantis' chief engineering and technology officer.
The move comes as Chinese robotaxi companies expand their robotaxis overseas and scale up their fleet sizes both in their domestic and overseas markets. Its peers, WeRide and Baidu's Apollo, have also expanded into the European market.
