GUANGZHOU, China, September 8, 2026 -- XPeng Inc. ("XPENG" or the "Comany," NYSE: XPEV; HKEX: 9868), a leading global Physical AI company, today announced that its humanoid robot production lines into operation, and the world's first advanced general‑purpose humanoid robot made its debut by autonomously walking off the lines after completing production. This achievement signifies a key leap from R&D prototyping to line manufacturing and an important advance toward volume production. XPENG remains committed to its physical-AI and globalization strategy, continuously building three growth curves: automotive, robotics, and globalization. The rollout of the first advanced general-purpose humanoid robot and the activation of the production lines mark another important milestone in the ongoing implementation of XPENG's physical-AI strategy. Given the high technical barriers and limited high-quality supply in the advanced general-purpose humanoid robot segment, the gross margin per unit is expected to be significantly higher than that of new energy vehicles. As XPENG's robotics business accelerates into scaled manufacturing and commercialization, its value as the Company's second growth curve is rapidly becoming visible.
