Company
WeRide
Global autonomous-driving company (NASDAQ: WRD; HKEX: 0800), founded 2017, operating one of the world's most internationally diversified robotaxi businesses across 9 countries (China, US, UAE, Singapore, France, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Switzerland, and more). Its China robotaxi fleet reached ~1,000 vehicles by April 2026, with 800+ in commercial/testing operation and a fleet of 250+ outside China and the US — the largest commercial robotaxi fleet outside China and the US (in Abu Dhabi). WeRide pursues an asset-light model where Uber, Grab, or local partners operate the fleets while WeRide provides the autonomous-driving technology and vehicles. Beyond robotaxis it operates robobuses (France, Belgium) and autonomous sanitation vehicles. In October 2025 it secured the world's first city-level fully-driverless robotaxi commercial permit outside the US (Abu Dhabi). Its mass-produced Robotaxi GXR (built on Geely Farizon's SuperVAN platform, launched October 2024) is its primary commercial vehicle. WeRide and Uber have committed to deploying at least 1,200 robotaxis across the Middle East (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh) by ~2027, and WeRide/Geely Farizon aim to deliver 2,000 GXRs — forward commitments, not current deployments.
