XPENG has set a target for the second half of 2027 to launch its IRON humanoid robot in Europe, following its previously announced international delivery plans for next year. The schedule was revealed by Founder and CEO He Xiaopeng during the Paris Night event on October 11, outlining three key milestones: mass production by late 2026, initial deliveries in early 2027, and the European rollout later that year.
This rollout is significant as it positions commercial applications of the IRON robot ahead of industrial and household uses, although no specific dates for these latter stages were provided. XPENG's focus for the initial deployments will be in sales centers and company premises, targeting applications such as tours, shopping assistance, and patrols, aligning with its September production announcement.
As XPENG prepares for this launch, details regarding the specific European countries for the rollout, pricing, and sales strategies remain undisclosed. The company previously announced the commissioning of production lines for the IRON robot, with over 80% of the facility's core processes automated, aiming for mass production to commence by the end of 2026.
