WeRide Could Grow Robotaxi Fleet to 2,000 to 3,000 by Year-End -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-15

0423 GMT - WeRide's robotaxi fleet size will likely grow to 2,000 to 3,000 by the end of this year, with the domestic market accounting for about 50%-60% of the increase, Citi analysts write in a note. Its overseas robotaxi fleet could reach 500 to 1,000 at the end of 2026, including more than 300 vehicles in Abu Dhabi, they add. The company's domestic robotaxi fleet expansion will likely start after 1Q, since the Lunar New Year holiday falls in February, Citi says. China will remain the autonomous-driving company's strategic focus, given the country's much larger addressable market than overseas markets, Citi cites management as saying.
