CEO He Xiaopeng assumed direct leadership of XPeng’s robotics division on June 10, 2026. This management shift follows a senior executive departure and aims to streamline decision-making in a competitive market.
The company targets mass production of its IRON humanoid robots for the fourth quarter of 2026. XPeng will first deploy these units within its own retail locations.
Commercial deliveries to Chinese and international customers will begin in 2027. This strategy diversifies XPeng’s business beyond electric vehicles into advanced AI technologies.
