Mercedes 4S Dealerships Partner with UBTECH to Sell Humanoid Robots in China

Mercedes-Benz's core dealer, Bosh Group, has announced a partnership with UBTECH to become the first official 4S store for humanoid robots in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. This strategic move targets high-net-worth consumers who are more receptive to new technologies, leveraging the dealership's established trust and experience. The significance of this partnership lies in the unique advantages of 4S dealerships, including access to affluent customers, interactive display spaces, and existing trust relationships. The humanoid robot, priced at 990,000 yuan, is aimed at ultra-high-net-worth families, making the dealership an ideal retail channel for such products. The introduction of robots into 4S stores marks a fundamental shift in how robots are perceived and sold, moving from technology showcases to commercial products. This trend is expected to become standard in luxury brand dealerships within three to five years, as competitors are likely to follow once the model proves successful.
