Pony AI and Ruqi Chuxing jointly build a Robotaxi fleet, with the first batch delivering over a hundred seventh-generation driverless vehicles

On March 19, Pony AI $Pony AI (PONY.US)$ officially delivered to Ruqi Chuxing the all-new GAC Aion Bawanglong Robotaxi equipped with Pony AI's seventh-generation autonomous driving system. The first batch delivered over a hundred vehicles, which have been integrated into the Ruqi Chuxing platform and are gradually beginning operations. Meanwhile, Ruqi Chuxing and Pony AI will further deepen their strategic cooperation to jointly create a larger-scale Robotaxi fleet and efficiently collaborate on expanding operations to a wider area. This delivery marks a key step in the scale marketization of Robotaxis and provides the industry with a replicable model for the coordinated development of 'technology + operations'.Under the new cooperation framework, Pony AI $PONY-W (02026.HK)$ focuses on the research, development, and iteration of the core autonomous driving technology, the 'virtual driver,' achieving sustainable technological monetization through a virtual driver usage fee model; Ruqi Chuxing assumes responsibilities such as fleet asset ownership, safety assurance, vehicle dispatching, and platform operations.Both parties complement each other's strengths, jointly building an efficient and safe Robotaxi service ecosystem. As a leading autonomous driving solution in the industry, Pony AI’s seventh-generation Robotaxi ensures safety performance while offering advantages in cost control, ride experience, and user willingness to pay. This model fully adopts automotive-grade components, with a design life of 600,000 kilometers, and the total cost of the autonomous driving suite has decreased by 70% compared to the previous generation...
On March 19, Pony AI $Pony AI (PONY.US)$A new batch of GAC Aion Overlord Robotaxis equipped with Pony AI's seventh-generation autonomous driving system has been officially delivered to Ruqi Travel, with over a hundred vehicles handed over. These vehicles have already been integrated into the Ruqi Travel platform and are gradually starting operations. Meanwhile, Ruqi Travel and Pony AI will further deepen their strategic cooperation to jointly build a larger-scale Robotaxi fleet and efficiently coordinate operations across a broader area.
This delivery marks a crucial step in the large-scale marketization of Robotaxis, providing the industry with a replicable model for the coordinated development of 'technology + operations'.Under the new cooperation framework, Pony.ai$PONY-W (02026.HK)$will focus on the research, development, and iteration of core autonomous driving technology, the 'virtual driver,' achieving sustainable technological monetization through a virtual driver usage fee model. Ruqi Travel, on the other hand, will assume responsibilities such as fleet asset ownership, safety assurance, vehicle dispatching, and platform operation.The two parties complement each other’s strengths, jointly building an efficient and safe Robotaxi service ecosystem.
As a leading autonomous driving solution in the industry, Pony AI's seventh-generation Robotaxi ensures safety while balancing cost control, ride experience, and user willingness to pay. This model fully adopts automotive-grade components, with a designed lifespan of 600,000 kilometers, and the total cost of the autonomous driving kit has decreased by 70% compared to the previous generation. In terms of user experience, the vehicle supports Bluetooth unlocking, in-car voice interaction, online music, and pre-trip air conditioning adjustments, significantly enhancing ride comfort. Optimized acceleration and deceleration controls effectively reduce bumps during travel, lowering the risk of motion sickness for passengers. Currently, the seventh-generation Robotaxi has achieved operational profitability in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, two first-tier cities, demonstrating promising commercial prospects.

Pony AI and Ruqi Travel have a long history of cooperation. Since 2022, the two parties have reached a strategic partnership and jointly launched regular Robotaxi operations in Guangzhou, accumulating extensive collaborative experience. Previously, the customized Robotaxi model developed by Pony AI for Ruqi Travel — the GAC Aion LX Plus equipped with Pony AI’s sixth-generation autonomous driving software and hardware system — passed Guangzhou's mixed traffic certification. To date, the two parties have implemented large-scale cooperative operations in multiple cities within the Greater Bay Area.
This upgraded cooperation not only deepens the strategic relationship between the two parties but also signifies that the autonomous driving industry is accelerating from the technical validation phase into a new stage of large-scale market operations, fully demonstrating both parties' firm confidence and long-term commitment to the future development of autonomous driving.
