- XPENG ranked among the 'Fortune Tech 50' and 'Fortune China 500' lists for leading AI mobility innovation
SHANGHAI, China, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XPENG, a leading Chinese high technology car company, is proud to announce that it has secured places on both the 'Fortune Tech 50' and 'Fortune China 500' lists. The placings were announced during the Fortune China 'Tech 50 Innovation Night' and '2024 Fortune China 500 Summit' on October 16 and 17, hosted in Shanghai. XPENG is glad to receive these esteemed accolades that reaffirm its competitive advantage and status as a leader in technological innovation.
'Fortune Tech 50' is an inaugural list by Fortune China that spotlights Chinese tech companies making a global impact. Companies are judged based on technical innovation, as well as their global economic influence and positive social impact. XPENG was one of only two automotive companies to make the list, thanks to its pioneering AI-defined mobility technology, autonomous driving breakthroughs, and industry-leading AI model applications.
Fortune China praised XPENG for its edge in smart driving technology. 'XPENG is a formidable competitor in the sector as the race for dominance in autonomous driving intensifies. Innovation fueled by technology is the foundation of XPENG's strategy - in May, XPENG announced the mass production of its end-to-end AI model. Rolled out to users through the AI-powered Tianji XOS system, XPENG calls the model 'the first system in the industry to apply AI technology to both smart cockpit and ADAS systems.' In July, XPENG entered a strategic partnership with Volkswagen to co-develop electronic and electrical architecture technology. The partnership leverages both companies' technological advantages to expand their market influences, a move seen as a pivotal moment in XPENG's expansion,' the publication stated in its remarks.
Fortune China is a business publication of global renown, and its annual 'Global 500' list is one of the most prestigious benchmarks for corporations. Enlisting the same methodology for its global counterpart, the '2024 Fortune China 500' ranking covers both public and private companies from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. XPENG's inclusion in the '2024 Fortune China 500' underscores its forward-thinking approach in AI applications and global expansion, setting a milestone for the global smart automotive industry.
Founded 10 years ago, XPENG has long adhered to its brand vision of being an 'Explorer of Future Mobility' by leveraging technology to transform how people travel. The company has since made significant strides in AI applications and is poised to lead the industry in the coming decade. XPENG's self-developed Turing Chip, the world's first AI chip designed for AI-defined vehicles, robots, and flying cars, has been successfully taped out, and pre-orders have commenced for XPENG's AI-powered P7+ car. Over the next decade, XPENG aims to become a global AI mobility leader and develop an AI ecosystem based on five key pillars: high-performance chips, AI models, AI-defined vehicles, robots, and flying cars, where the first two will serve as foundations for the latter three.
XPENG's investments in intelligent driving technology over the past decade are bearing fruit. The company believes it plays a critical role in the ongoing electric vehicle revolution on a global scale. To date, XPENG has expanded its sales to over 30 countries and regions. As part of its global strategy, XPENG is now focused on scaling up its international operations, with plans to enhance its global R&D and sales presence. In the next ten years, XPENG aims for overseas markets to account for half of its total sales, significantly expanding its global user community.
XPENG's increasing recognition by prestigious global business publications stands testament to its exceptional innovation capabilities and global outlook. Looking ahead, XPENG remains committed to its global market strategy and is well-positioned to continue spearheading global development towards an era of AI-defined mobility.
