Toyota, Pony.ai plan to invest a total of more than RMB 1 billion to set up a joint venture within the year, which will launch robotaxi cars built on Toyota's pure electric vehicles.

Nio CEO William Li previously said that the company's first smartphone model will be launched in the third quarter.

Tesla is recalling a total of 271 imported Model S and Model X vehicles in China for seat belt and camera installation issues.

Xpeng delivered 23,205 vehicles in the second quarter, exceeding the upper end of the company's guidance range of 21,000 to 22,000 units.

Sales of the Frigate 07 continued to grow in the initial five months of its launch, reaching 10,003 units in April. However, the model's sales have seen significant drops in the past two months.

"I don't want to build a China-only company, I want to build a global company," Xpeng CEO said.

Local automotive media has shared two images of the new EC6, saying that the model could be officially launched at the Chengdu auto show later this month.

In the January-July period, Tesla sold 540,824 China-made vehicles, up 67.45 percent year-on-year.

After the Netherlands and Sweden, Zeekr will soon enter other European markets including Norway, Germany, Denmark and France, it said.

The ES6 now has a wait time of 3-4 weeks, the ET5 and ET5 Touring are both about 3 weeks, and the ES8 is 8-9 weeks.
