Standing at the starting point of the new decade, Xiaopeng is committed to becoming a global AI automobile company.

In fact, as early as August this year, he Xiaopeng has made a high-profile statement: "Xiaopengxin 10 years will be committed to become a global AI car company."

Xiaopeng Automobile, which was officially established in 2014 and headquartered in Guangzhou, is an Internet electric vehicle brand of Guangzhou Orange Bank Intelligent Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., initiated by he Xiaopeng, Xia Heng, he Tao and others. He Xiaopeng joined Xiaopeng Motor as chairman after leaving Alibaba in August 2017. in October of the same year, Xiaopeng's first mass-produced model went off the line. In terms of time, this year happens to be the tenth year since Xiaopeng Motor was founded. Now ten years have passed, Xiaopeng's product matrix has also formed G6, X9, G9, P7, P5, MONA M03 a total of 6 models. Among them, the MONA M03, which went on sale on August 27th, is the first model of Xiaopeng's new series MONA, and it is also the cheapest model currently on sale, with a price of 11.98-155800 yuan. Retail data show that in September, the MONA M03 sold 10023 vehicles, making it Xiaopeng's top-selling model, but this was also unexpected. As a model built by Xiaopeng and Didi, the car invested as much as 4 billion yuan, and since the debut of the new car, he Xiaopeng has high hopes for its future performance and is regarded as Xiaopeng's "fire captain".

As for the MONA M03, which starts at 119800, making it the cheapest model for Xiaopeng products, he Xiaopeng said: "the price from 119800 is indeed a difficult but correct decision. I hope more people will have the opportunity to feel the great changes that technology has brought to everyone's lives." At the press conference on the same day, he Xiaopeng also announced that ‌ Xiaopeng would be renamed Xiaopeng AI Automobile Company, pointing out that Xiaopeng, which takes smart driving as its core competitiveness, has not taken the initiative to cut its intelligent driving team in the most difficult times, and with the arrival of the era of large AI models, Xiaopeng will also focus on smart cars in the next decade, expanding the layout of AI cars, AI robots, AI chips and flying cars and other technological directions. And said that in the next ten years, Xiaopeng will focus on the combination of AI technology and large-scale manufacturing, and strive to become the leader of AI Automobile Company. He Xiaopeng also made a bold prediction: there may be only seven mainstream car brands in China in the next 10 years, and Xiaopeng Automobile will become one of them.

Figures show that Xiaopeng sold a total of 98561 cars in the first nine months of this year. From the sales data in the first nine months of this year, Xiaopeng's sales are still in a weak situation, falling behind obviously. For comparison, the cumulative sales of ideal cars and Lulai cars, which are the same as the "Wei Xiaoli" camp, are 341812 and 149281 respectively. However, with the help of the listed MONA M03 and Xiaopeng P7 +, which will be available in November, it is expected that subsequent Xiaopeng car sales may be able to boost.

It is understood that this year's sixth Xiaopeng AI Technology Day will be held on November 6, when Xiaopeng will show the public the latest progress of Xiaopeng in various fields such as AI cars, AI robots and flying cars. According to he Xiaopeng's earlier plan: "in the next 10 years, half of Xiaopeng's car sales will come from overseas. Xiaopeng's internationalization strategy is to start from Europe, science and technology-oriented, to bring China's intelligence to the world."

On October 23, Xiaopeng officially entered the UAE market. So far, Xiaopeng Motor and UAE Ali& Sons Holding LLC subsidiary GSM have established a set of sales channels in the UAE market, including G6, G9 and other series of models. The two sides are scheduled to open another store in Abu Dhabi next year.
