Xpeng Accelerates European Expansion with Romanian Market Entry and ‘Flying Car’ Production Timeline
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng is aggressively scaling its international footprint, securing entry into the Romanian and Bulgarian markets although preparing to launch next-generation autonomous and aerial vehicles. The strategic push underscores the company’s ambition to challenge established global leaders in the EV sector, specifically targeting the market share currently held by Tesla.
In a significant move for its Eastern European strategy, Xpeng is entering the Romanian market. The company’s models will be imported by the same corporate group that currently represents Nissan in Romania. This expansion is part of a broader regional rollout, as a Chinese manufacturer of flying cars is also entering the Bulgarian market, having secured a distribution contract covering three new countries, including both Romania and Bulgaria.
The expansion highlights Xpeng’s position as a key player in the global transition to sustainable transport, supported by its strategic partnership with Volkswagen. This collaboration provides a critical foundation as the company seeks to establish a firmer foothold in the European Union.
Next-Generation Mobility: Robotaxis and Aerial Vehicles
Beyond traditional electric vehicles, Xpeng is pivoting toward advanced mobility solutions. At Auto China 2026, the company is scheduled to debut the Xpeng GX alongside a new range of Chinese robotaxis. These launches are viewed as pivotal steps in the company’s effort to surpass Tesla in autonomous driving and vehicle innovation, as reported by Vietnam.vn.
Adding to its futuristic roadmap, Xpeng has announced that its “flying cars” are slated to enter mass production next year, in 2027. This development transitions the company’s aerial mobility projects from conceptual stages to commercial viability, potentially redefining urban transportation logistics.
The simultaneous push into new geographic territories and the development of eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) technology suggests a high-growth strategy aimed at diversifying revenue streams beyond standard passenger EVs. As revoblog.ro notes, the company’s entry into Romania further cements the presence of Chinese EV and aerial vehicle innovators in the region.
