Pony.ai Drives Commercialization at Scale with Lower-Cost Robotaxis and New L4 Light TruckApril 24, 2026 12:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

At Auto China 2026, Pony.ai outlined new steps to advance Robotaxi commercialization through lower-cost Gen-7 vehicles and an upgraded world model to improve "Virtual Driver" training efficiency.The total vehicle cost of Pony.ai's 2027 Robotaxi in China market, including the base vehicle and autonomous driving kit, is expected to fall below RMB 230,000.Pony.ai also unveiled the world's first 100% automotive-grade, fully redundant L4 autonomous light-duty truck, developed with CATL for urban logistics.BEIJING, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026) is advancing the commercialization of Level 4 (L4) autonomous driving through continued cost reduction, fleet expansion and broader product deployment across mobility and logistics.
At Auto China 2026 in Beijing, Pony.ai highlighted progress in lowering the cost of its seventh-generation (Gen-7) Robotaxis, with total vehicle cost of its 2027 Robotaxi in China market, including both the autonomous driving kit and the base vehicle, expected to fall below RMB 230,000, lower than the current starting price of a locally produced Tesla Model 3 in China. The company also pointed to continued robotaxi fleet expansion, a broader L4 product lineup with a new autonomous light-duty truck, and PonyWorld 2.0, its upgraded proprietary world model, as key drivers of continued deployment at scale."Over the past decade, we have remained focused on turning autonomous driving from a concept into real-world infrastructure," said Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai. "Today, the question is no longer whether Robotaxi can work. The focus is how to scale it safely, efficiently and at the right cost."After introducing its Gen-7 Robotaxi lineup last year, Pony.ai has expanded its fleet from 270 vehicles to more than 1,400. Supported by a 70% reduction in bill-of-materials cost for its Gen-7 autonomous driving kit, along with continued operational optimization, the company has achieved key commercialization milestones, including unit-economics breakeven in two of Southern China's largest economic hubs. Pony.ai's registered user base has also surpassed 1 million, nearly tripling from a year earlier. These developments further validate both the maturity of Pony.ai's technology and the commercial viability of fully driverless urban fleet operations.The latest cost reductions are expected to support mass production and further advance Pony.ai's "dual-engine" growth strategy across both China and international markets. The company aims to expand its fleet to more than 3,000 Robotaxis by the end of this year and extend its footprint to 20 cities globally, with nearly half of those cities located in overseas markets. Based on its Gen-7 Robotaxi platform, Pony.ai plans to introduce an overseas version tailored to local regulatory requirements, infrastructure conditions and user needs, supporting deployment of more than 1,000 units in international markets.Pony.ai's accelerating commercialization momentum is also reflected in its collaboration with Toyota. The Gen-7 bZ4X Robotaxi has officially received an on-road testing permit in Guangzhou. As production ramps up, the two companies plan to deploy 1,000 bZ4X Robotaxis this year across major tier-one cities in China.New L4 Light Truck Extends Pony.ai's Autonomous Logistics PortfolioAt Auto China 2026, Pony.ai unveiled an L4 electric light-duty truck, the world's first 100% automotive-grade, fully redundant light truck purpose-built for L4 autonomous driving and developed in collaboration with CATL.Built on CATL's Kunshi chassis platform, the vehicle is expected to reduce freight cost per kilometer by 40% to 50% compared with human-driven transport, while offering 18 cubic meters of cargo capacity — 2.6 times that of low-speed autonomous delivery vehicles. With a battery range of 320 to 450 kilometers, it is designed for a wide range of urban logistics scenarios, including parcel distribution, supermarket restocking and cold-chain foodservice delivery.The vehicle is engineered for full-scenario and all-weather L4 autonomous driving. It features full redundancy across steering, braking, communications, power supply, the computing platform and the sensor suite. The vehicle is designed for a service life of 600,000 kilometers, or 20,000 operating hours.The launch of the light-duty truck further strengthens Pony.ai's Robotruck portfolio. The company already operates commercial Robotruck services across trunk-line logistics, dedicated-route logistics and port transportation. Pony.ai also revealed that it has obtained permits for Robotruck platooning operations on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway and the Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, with a safety operator in the lead vehicle while the following trucks operate without a human driver in the cab.The new L4 light-duty truck shares the same technology stack as Pony.ai's Gen-7 Robotaxis and is intended for deployment in the same operating regions, enabling both platforms to leverage the same operational backbone, including energy replenishment, ground support, service centers and remote assistance. This cross-business reuse of infrastructure and resources is expected to strengthen economies of scale, improve the marginal economics of large-scale deployment, and drive further cost reduction and efficiency gains across both urban logistics and mobility services.PonyWorld 2.0 Supports a More Efficient Path to Scaled L4 DeploymentDr. Tiancheng Lou, Founder and CTO of Pony.ai, announced that the company has completed a major upgrade of its core AI model, PonyWorld 2.0 — the latest evolution of the training system behind Pony.ai's autonomous driving stack.Since 2020, Pony.ai has developed PonyWorld not as a conventional simulation tool, but as a full reinforcement-learning system spanning cloud-side training and onboard deployment. As its fully driverless fleet has scaled, improving autonomous driving performance has increasingly depended on improving the world model itself — particularly its ability to represent real-world dynamics and traffic interactions with sufficient accuracy and realism.The key advance in PonyWorld 2.0 is its ability to diagnose where performance remains weak, guide more targeted data collection, and support more efficient model training. This creates a stronger closed-loop data flywheel: larger-scale driverless operations generate more valuable real-world data, which improves the world model, strengthens the onboard system, and in turn supports broader deployment.While continuing to advance its AI capabilities, Pony.ai has emphasized that safety remains the foundation of autonomous driving commercialization. Lou said, "Fail-operational capability across the entire system should become a universal industry standard for Level 4 autonomous driving." A fail-operational system helps ensure that even in the event of an unexpected hardware or software failure, the vehicle can maintain core driving functions through comprehensive redundancy and execute a safe pull-over maneuver, supporting safer large-scale driverless operations.About Pony AI Inc.Pony AI Inc. is a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility.

Pony.ai Launches PonyWorld 2.0, a Self-Improving Physical AI Engine for Autonomous DrivingApril 10, 2026 12:32 AM
PR Newswire (US)

New world model upgrade enables AI to diagnose its own weaknesses, guide targeted data collection, and support the next phase of large-scale L4 commercializationGUANGZHOU, China, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced the launch of PonyWorld 2.0, the latest upgrade to its proprietary world model and a major advancement in the core training system behind the company's autonomous driving stack.PonyWorld 2.0's most important advance is its ability to diagnose its own weaknesses and guide targeted improvement. The upgrade brings three core capabilities: self-diagnosis, targeted data collection in scenarios where the model still falls short, and more efficient training focused on the hardest cases.The launch comes as the autonomous driving industry enters a new commercial phase. The challenge is no longer just proving that driverless technology works. It is now about improving performance quickly and consistently enough to support broader deployment, stronger unit economics, and sustained technical leadership.Since 2020, Pony.ai has been building PonyWorld not as a basic simulation tool for generating synthetic data, but as a full reinforcement learning training system spanning cloud-side training and vehicle-side deployment. As the system matured, improving the capabilities of Pony.ai's "Virtual Driver" increasingly came to depend on improving the world model that trains it, particularly its ability to represent real-world dynamics and interactions with sufficient accuracy and realism."PonyWorld 2.0 is an important step toward a more self-improving approach to autonomous driving development," said Dr. Tiancheng Lou, Founder and CTO of Pony.ai. "As AI systems become more capable, they can play a larger role not only in learning to drive, but also in guiding their own improvement — making L4 development more scalable over time."PonyWorld 2.0 is already being applied across Pony.ai's L4 driverless fleet and R&D system to improve safety, ride comfort, and traffic efficiency while supporting faster fleet expansion and commercialization.After validating the unit economics of robotaxi operations in two major metropolitan markets in China with its seventh-generation robotaxi fleet, Pony.ai has entered a faster phase of commercialization across both China and international markets. The company is targeting a fleet of more than 3,000 vehicles by the end of this year, with deployments spanning 20 cities globally. Nearly half of those cities will be in overseas markets.A New Training Paradigm for Scalable AutonomyThat scale creates a new technical requirement. As driverless operations grow from hundreds of vehicles to thousands and beyond, it becomes both harder and more important to keep improving safety and performance without regression.In Pony.ai's view, a true world model must do more than generate virtual scenarios. It must define what good driving means, model the physical world with high precision, and reproduce realistic interactions between the AI driver and surrounding traffic participants across both edge cases and everyday traffic.PonyWorld 2.0 is designed to make that process more efficient. A structured intention layer allows the model to form an internal representation of why it made a decision, making large-scale self-diagnosis possible. The system can review its own decisions, compare intent with outcomes, and identify the types of scenarios where additional learning is needed. It can then generate targeted data-collection tasks for human teams, which gather the relevant real-world samples, feed them back into the cloud, and help recalibrate the world model for more precise training.In Pony.ai's view, that changes the development process itself. In the early stages of autonomous driving, progress depended heavily on human engineers to design rules, label data, and decide what to train next. PonyWorld 2.0 points to a different model. As AI systems become more capable, they can take over more of their own improvement cycle, while human engineers increasingly serve as operators of a directed data-collection loop shaped by the system's own learning needs.Pony.ai believes the technical approach behind PonyWorld 2.0, including high-accuracy world modeling, self-diagnosis, and targeted evolution, could become relevant over time to a broader class of physical AI training systems that must learn safely and efficiently in real-world environments. In that sense, PonyWorld 2.0 represents not only a deeper investment in the core training capabilities that could help define the next stage of physical AI, but also a technical approach whose relevance may extend over time to a broader set of physical AI scenarios beyond autonomous driving.To learn how Pony.ai's world model has progressed, evolved, and reached its self-improving 2.0 stage, please read: https://blog.pony.ai/the-evolution-of-pony-ais-world-model/ About Pony AI Inc.Pony AI Inc. is a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility.

Pony AI shares climb after earnings beat and strong robotaxi growthMarch 26, 2026 6:37 AM
IH Market News
Pony AI Inc. (NASDAQ:PONY) reported fourth-quarter results on Thursday that topped analyst forecasts, posting adjusted earnings per share of $0.12 and revenue of $29.1 million. The company also unveiled a strategic agreement to introduce what it described as the first commercial robotaxi service in Europe, with operations set to begin soon in Zagreb.Shares of the autonomous driving company rose 2.81% in pre-market trading following the release, supported by the earnings beat, strong growth in robotaxi-related revenue and the newly announced partnership with Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER).Revenue from robotaxi services surged 160% year over year to $6.7 million during the quarter, while fare-based revenue jumped more than 500% compared with the same period last year. Overall revenue declined 18% to $29.1 million from $35.5 million in the year-earlier quarter, largely due to the timing of project-based revenue recognition within the licensing and applications segment, where revenue fell 53% to $9.4 million. Robotruck services revenue edged up 1.2% to $13.1 million.“2025 marked an amazing year for Pony.ai,” said Dr. James Peng, Chairman and CEO. “We realized scaling-up in top-line, Robotaxi fleet size, operational footprint and user base, while validating our business model by achieving unit economics breakeven in multiple tier-one cities in China.”The company said it reached consecutive unit economics breakeven in Guangzhou and Shenzhen within four months of launching its Gen-7 robotaxi platform.

Pony.ai Targets 3,000 Robotaxis in Over 20 Cities in 2026; Expects Dual Engines to Drive Full-fledged GrowthMarch 26, 2026 5:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Pony.ai has validated its Robotaxi business model in two of China's largest cities, demonstrating core strengths in mass production, service operation and fully driverless technology. Built on these capabilities, the company is rapidly expanding across both domestic and international markets through a dual-engine strategy.GUANGZHOU, China, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pony AI Inc. ("Pony.ai") (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced financial results that point to accelerating momentum in its robotaxi commercialization, with growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 extending into 2026 as the company scales its fleet, expands into new markets and deepens collaboration across its ecosystem.According to the company's unaudited financial results released today, robotaxi revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 rose 160% year over year, while fare-charging revenue surged more than 500%, driven by fleet expansion and increasing user adoption."2025 marked an amazing year for Pony.ai. We realized scaling-up in top-line, Robotaxi fleet size, operational footprint and user base, while validating our business model by achieving unit economics ("UE") breakeven in multiple tier-one cities in China." said Dr. James Peng, Founder and CEO of Pony.ai, "as we look to 2026, we believe the foundation we have established in China will enable us to replicate this model in overseas markets and build dual growth engines to support our next phase of accelerated growth."The company expects its top-line will grow at a faster speed in 2026, as it will scale up fleet size to over 3,000 and expand operational areas to deploy Robotaxis in over 20 cities globally. Among them, nearly half will be located in overseas markets.Dual-Engine Strategy to Drive Stronger GrowthA key driver of Pony.ai's accelerated growth has been the expansion of its robotaxi services as its dual-engine strategy across China and overseas markets continues to gain traction. Its total fleet expanded to 1,446 units as of March 25 from less than 300 units nearly a year ago.Commercialization momentum continued to strengthen, driven by rising user adoption, increasing paid orders, and improving unit economics. In China, total users approached one million by late March, nearly tripled from a year ago. By mid-February, total paid Robotaxi orders in Shenzhen this year had already exceeded the city's full-year 2025 total. On March 22, its seventh-generation ("Gen-7") robotaxi fleet in Shenzhen achieved an all-time high of RMB 394 in daily revenue per vehicle, with 25 orders per vehicle. In February, Pony.ai also achieved UE breakeven in Shenzhen, following the same milestone in neighboring Guangzhou in late 2025.Pony.ai's confidence in the sustained growth of its Robotaxi business is rooted in its strong autonomous driving technology and the rider experience it delivers. "Our PonyWorld model and AI Virtual Driver deliver a demonstrably superior ride experience, seamlessly navigating peak-hour traffic, extreme weather, and complex road conditions. This translates into a consistent, reliable and high-quality 24/7 service that exceeds many riders' expectation, fostering greater user willingness to pay. In turn, this enables us to implement balanced pricing, the key drivers behind our positive UE," said Dr. Tiancheng Lou, CTO of Pony.ai.Operational expansion is also unfolding across a broader set of markets at home and abroad. In China, the company expanded into Changsha and Hangzhou in March, two emerging new tier-one cities. Internationally, it began deployment in Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia in Europe. In the Middle East, Pony.ai launched its first commercial fare-charging robotaxi service in Doha, Qatar, through cooperation with Mowasalat Karwa, and is progressing toward the official approval to conduct fully driverless operation later this March in Dubai."With Gen-7 already delivering commercial results in China and unit-economics breakeven achieved in multiple tier-one cities, we believe we are entering a new stage of scaled commercialization," Peng said. "By deepening collaboration with ecosystem partners and advancing our joint deployment model, we believe we can expand more efficiently and accelerate fleet deployment across markets."Joint Deployment Model Boosts Capital EfficiencyTo support that next phase of expansion, Pony.ai said it plans to further advance a joint deployment model with partners to improve capital efficiency and drive stronger growth in both robotaxi fleet expansion and top-line revenue.The joint deployment model is a win-win partnership in which Pony.ai provides autonomous driving solution, partners provide vehicle funding support, and both parties share operating revenues. According to Pony.ai, it has already adopted this model in partnerships with Toyota, Chenqi Mobility in Guangzhou and ATBB in Beijing.Fleet expansion is also being supported by Pony.ai's multi-OEM partnerships, including its deepened strategic partnership with Toyota, which enabled the February start of mass production for one of its Gen-7 models. Pony.ai expects 1,000 bZ4X robotaxis to be produced in 2026 to support further deployment.Improved Quarterly Results Reflect Strengthened Financial PositionPony.ai reported net income of US$75.5 million in the fourth quarter, compared with a net loss of US$181.1 million in the same period of 2024. The company said the first-ever quarterly profitability was primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of trading securities."Our first-ever quarterly GAAP-level net profit demonstrated the success of our strategic investments across the ecosystem. We are making front-loaded investment to drive our commercialization at a quicker pace. Backed by our strengthened balance sheet and disciplined investments, we are poised for our next phase of accelerating growth." said Dr. Leo Wang, CFO of Pony.ai.For the full year of 2025, total revenue rose 20% year over year to US$90.0 million, driven mainly by strong growth in robotaxi and licensing and applications revenues. Net loss narrowed 72% to US$76.8 million.Beyond robotaxi, Pony.ai said its other business lines also delivered robust performance. Robotruck service revenues were US$40.6 million in 2025, supported by deeper cooperation with Sinotrans to enhance fleet operations. Licensing and applications revenue rose 19.7%, driven mainly by growing demand for the company's autonomous domain controller from customers in low-speed robot delivery, robosweepers, logistics, and humanoid robotics sectors.Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, restricted cash and long-term debt instruments for wealth management stood at US$1,514.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to the balance of US$587.7 million as of September 30, 2025.

Pony.ai will also integrate its self-operated Robotaxi vehicles into ATBB's Xinghui Mobility platform, allowing both parties to share access to demand and fleet resources within a more flexible and scalable deployment framework.The partnership will also deepen the deployment of autonomous driving in airport transfer and business travel scenarios. With fully driverless operations, Robotaxis offer a combination of on-time performance, enhanced privacy and customizable in-vehicle experiences. These features are expected to appeal to premium and business-class travelers, positioning Robotaxis as a differentiated mobility option for frequent business travelers who expect a higher standard of ground transportation.The ATBB partnership builds on Pony.ai's rapid progress in scaling commercial Robotaxi operations across China and internationally.In 2025, Pony.ai achieved several major milestones, including securing China's first citywide permit for fully driverless commercial Robotaxi operations in Shenzhen and expanding commercial services across Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The company's total Robotaxi fleet has surpassed 1,159 vehicles, exceeding its fleet targets for 2025, and Pony.ai has announced plans to expand to more than 3,000 Robotaxis by the end of 2026.Pony.ai has also reported that its Gen-7 Robotaxi operations reached city-wide unit economics breakeven in Guangzhou, reinforcing the commercial viability of its large-scale Robotaxi model. As more partners participate in fleet investment and operations, Pony.ai expects its asset-light approach to play an increasingly important role in supporting rapid and sustainable growth in both domestic and international markets.
