XPeng announces that its robotaxi business will operate under the global brand name “XPENG YOYO.” The company also launches an XPENG YOYO Autonomous Driving ride-hailing mini program in China, inviting the public to join testing through invitation codes. The move shifts the project from internal validation toward real-world user trial participation.
The outlets describe the launch as an effort to progress toward public-facing deployment. PR Newswire adds that XPeng positions its robotaxi as China’s first fully in-house developed system to reach pre-loaded mass production, framing the naming and registration drive as part of that transition. TechNode similarly emphasizes that the company is now focusing on user testing rather than only technical work. Both sources indicate registration is available online in China, but they provide limited details on timelines, geographic coverage, or regulatory approvals.
