      in China and overseas next year. 

Smart EV Business Drives Profitability, Overseas Markets Expect to Contribute Above 20% of Q2 Revenue

Mr. He emphasized that within the XPENG ecosystem, its smart EV business has already achieved profitability. Quarterly gross margin reached 20.6%. The rapid growth of the automotive segment has generated strong cash flow, supporting its R&D investment for physical AI.

In April, XPENG's single-month overseas deliveries surpassed 6,000 units for the first time. In Q1, XPENG also secured No.1 among emerging Chinese EV brands across Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Indonesia, Belgium and Ireland. Overseas markets expect to contribute above 20% of Q2 revenue.

Launched on May 20, the 6-seater flagship SUV XPENG GX is the ultimate culmination of XPENG's technology vision for the L4 era. Priced above RMB 350,000, the Ultra trim took over 80% of early GX orders, becoming one of China's most popular premium models.

In H2, XPENG plans to introduce four models globally, targeting sustained monthly overseas deliveries above 10,000 units in Q4 and more than doubling its full-year deliveries abroad.

Outlook: Mass Production of Physical AI Will Fuel Huge Returns

XPENG is advancing the mass production and global commercialization of three core physical AI applications--VLA 2.0, Robotaxi, and humanoid robots--as key pillars with strong potential for both commercial scale and capital returns. "According to XPENG's strategic roadmap, the B2B market is projected to thrive first, and international markets are ultimately expected to yield greater commercial returns than the domestic market", said He.
