Reading Time : 2 minutes

WeRide is charging ahead with unstoppable momentum, expanding its cutting-edge robotaxi operations across 11 countries and more than 40 cities worldwide. This visionary Chinese firm has become a trailblazer in autonomous mobility, blending innovative technology with seamless partnerships that are transforming urban transportation. From bustling metropolises to vibrant coastal hubs, WeRide’s driverless vehicles are delivering safe, efficient rides that promise a brighter, greener future for commuters everywhere.

 

 

The Middle East shines as the crown jewel of this overseas triumph, where WeRide has launched fully driverless robotaxi services in Abu Dhabi—the world’s first outside the U.S. Partnering with a leading ride-hailing giant, they’ve scaled their fleet fourfold, with vehicles zipping through iconic spots like Yas Island. Now expanding into Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, WeRide eyes a massive deployment of 500 to 1,000 vehicles by year’s end, fueling economic growth and sustainable transport in this dynamic region.

 

 

Singapore’s futuristic streets are next on the horizon, with a pioneering self-driving shuttle service set to debut in March along a scenic 10-kilometer Punggol route. This collaboration with a top Southeast Asian mobility leader has already logged over 10,000 flawless test kilometers, connecting homes to essential services effortlessly. It’s a thrilling step toward Singapore’s ambitious goal of 100-150 autonomous vehicles by 2026, showcasing WeRide’s reliability and readiness for everyday adventures.

 

 

Financially, WeRide is soaring higher than ever, with robotaxi revenue skyrocketing 837% to lead the charge. Fresh from a blockbuster dual listing that raised hundreds of millions, the company plans to triple its fleet to 2,000-3,000 vehicles by 2026 and deploy hundreds of thousands globally by 2030. This isn’t just growth—it’s a revolution on wheels, inviting us all to embrace the joy of effortless, eco-friendly travel tomorrow.
