Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng is ramping up production of its Iron humanoid robot, targeting over 1,000 units monthly by the end of 2026. This increase is in preparation for a global rollout planned for 2027, with initial deployment as sales assistants in China showrooms.
The significance of this move lies in Xpeng's strategy to expand beyond electric vehicles into embodied artificial intelligence. The Iron robot, unveiled in November 2025, showcases advanced mobility and AI capabilities, positioning Xpeng to establish a presence in the humanoid robotics market.
Looking ahead, Xpeng's focus will be on integrating AI and robotics with its existing smart mobility technologies. The company aims to leverage its expertise in autonomous driving while continuing to grow its core EV business. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
