WeRide x Lenovo (200K AV Deployment)

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](/companies/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.

Multinational technology company founded in 1984 in Beijing and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (0992); the world's largest PC maker and a major server, edge-compute, and infrastructure provider. In the robotics supply chain, Lenovo co-developed the 100% automotive-grade HPC 3.0 compute platform (on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, 2,000+ TOPS) that powers [Weride](/companies/weride)'s GXR robotaxi, and agreed with WeRide to deploy 200,000 autonomous vehicles globally over five years.
