Its global autonomous driving fleet includes approximately 2,800 vehicles, with around 1,300 Robotaxis.

The company has launched public Robotaxi services in Singapore and Riyadh, with expansion into European markets including Madrid, Zurich and Bratislava. WeRide plans to launch Spain's first Robotaxi service in Madrid later this year.

The company plans to deploy 2,600 Robotaxis globally by the end of 2026 and expand to tens of thousands of vehicles worldwide by 2030. WeRide also announced plans to deploy 200,000 Robotaxis and other autonomous driving vehicles globally over the next five years.
