WeRide Robotaxi GXR Beijing

GXR is WeRide’s second Robotaxi model to achieve fully driverless commercial operations in Beijing. This marks GXR’s first large-scale commercial deployment in China, following its launch on the Uber platform in Abu Dhabi last December.

The service area spans key regions within the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, including high-speed railway stations. Beyond urban roads, GXR is also approved for commercial operations on highways, including routes to and from Beijing Daxing International Airport.

Thanks to its L4-level redundant drive-by-wire chassis architecture, open mobile travel space, and the world’s first hidden B-pillar, the GXR prioritizes passenger safety and experience. It can accommodate up to five passengers, offering the widest entry and exit space, the best seating space, and the largest luggage storage space in the Robotaxi industry, fully meeting the multi-person travel needs of trips to and from airports and railway stations, and achieving greater comfort and convenience for all five seats.

Users can hail a WeRide GXR using the WeRide Go app, available in major mobile app stores. Simply download and register, and then request a ride with one click.

As the only autonomous driving technology company in the world to achieve commercial Robotaxi operations both in China and overseas, WeRide has integrated Robotaxi services into the daily lives of residents in Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Ordos, Suzhou, Abu Dhabi and other cities worldwide. In 2024, WeRide partnered with Uber, the world’s largest mobility and delivery technology company, to launch the largest commercial Robotaxi fleet in the Middle East. In the second quarter of 2025, WeRide will also launch fully unmanned Robotaxi operations in Zurich, Switzerland.

With the commercial launch of the latest Robotaxi GXR in Beijing, WeRide will continue to expand the service scope and scale of GXR, planning to increase the number of Robotaxi operations in Beijing to several hundred by 2025.
