XPENG is getting into one other main EV market. This week, it’s the UK.
For starters, XPENG will launch the G6 through distribution associate Worldwide Motors Ltd. The corporate will reportedly begin delivering the G6 SUV to prospects within the UK very quickly.
XPENG notes that the UK is a precedence marketplace for the corporate in Europe. As we’ve reported just lately, 30% of UK auto sales have been plugin automobile gross sales final month, 21% have been pure electrics. By 2030, the UK authorities desires petrol (gasoline) and diesel automobiles to be utterly phased out of recent automotive gross sales.
It appears XPENG has struggled in some international locations to get good gross sales and repair networks in place, however this partnership with Worldwide Motors Ltd (IML) appears to be an excellent answer. “With nearly 50 years of experience in vehicle distribution across the UK, Ireland, and Northern Europe, IML brings a trusted reputation and extensive market expertise, ensuring that XPENG’s high-tech electric vehicles will receive dedicated support from importation to aftersales. IML’s record of success with both established and new-to-market brands makes it an ideal partner for XPENG as it introduces its innovative vehicles to UK motorists.”
“We are delighted to formally announce a distributor partnership with XPENG. IML has been working with XPENG for some time, and this was highlighted with the UK debut of the XPENG G6 at the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year. This new long-term agreement demonstrates IML’s ambition to seek alliances with forward-thinking partners that share the company’s values. Both parties look forward to launching the impressive G6 to UK customers in early 2025,” William Brown, Managing Director at Worldwide Motors Ltd, added.
XPENG is already in these European markets: Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Iceland, Spain, and Portugal.
By 2025, XPENG goals for half of its auto gross sales to come back from exterior of the UK. It plans to be in 60 worldwide markets by then.
“This new phase of growth marks XPENG’s dedication to driving the future of AI-defined mobility across the globe. The upcoming launch of the G6 will set a new standard in the UK, offering a premium, forward-thinking solution for consumers seeking a high-performance, environmentally friendly driving experience.” We’ll see. However I wouldn’t argue in opposition to any of this.
The UK is a sizzling EV market proper now. What number of models of the G6 may promote nicely there?
