Chinese smart electric vehicle (EV) maker XPENG on Friday said it should enter the Philippine market within the third quarter of 2026 through XPENG Philippines, a direct subsidiary of the corporate, because it bids to support the country’s transition to greener mobility.
In a press release, the corporate said it should introduce two smart EV models as its initial lineup. Further details on the vehicles and their official launch can be announced closer to their market debut.
XPENG Philippines goals to supply premium, AI-driven smart EVs designed to supply an intelligent driving experience for Filipino motorists, the corporate said.
XPENG is a world artificial intelligence and technology company focused on smart EVs. It designs, develops, manufactures, and markets electric vehicles equipped with its in-house advanced driver-assistance system, intelligent in-car operating system, and other core vehicle technologies.
The corporate currently operates in greater than 60 countries and regions across Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and Latin America. It has greater than 380 overseas stores and regional hubs in Germany, the UK, France, Australia, Thailand, and Mexico.
