This move further strengthens XPENG's product lineup in the Thai market.

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese new energy vehicle maker XPENG announced this week that on March 8, 2025, a shipment of 300 right-hand-drive XPENG X9 units arrived in Thailand from Nansha Port, Guangzhou city, with the official deliveries started in the country upon the arrival. This move further strengthens XPENG's product lineup in the Thai market.

As XPENG's flagship MPV, the X9 made its global debut at the 41st Thailand International Motor Expo in November 2024, signaling the model's official entry into international markets. The right-hand-drive X9 subsequently hit the market at the Singapore Motor Show on January 9, 2025, followed by its introduction in China's Macao city on February 15, offering a premium all-electric MPV option to local consumers.

On February 22, XPENG held its 255th overseas shipment ceremony at Nansha Port in Guangzhou, where the first batch of 300 right-hand-drive X9 units was dispatched to global markets.

At the event, XPENG Chairman He Xiaopeng emphasized the X9's strong competitive edge in the high-end electric vehicle segment across the Asia-Pacific region, expressing confidence in leading sales within the sector by 2025. He also highlighted the X9's flexible interior design, tailored to the needs of Southeast Asia's large family structures, as a key advantage that makes it stand out.

As part of its global strategy, XPENG has outlined a multi-dimensional approach focusing on deeper market penetration, the widespread adoption of core technologies, and the expansion of an international ultra-fast charging network. Since launching its internationalization efforts in 2020, the company has expanded its presence to over 30 countries and regions worldwide.

Looking ahead, XPENG aims to enter 60 countries and regions, and establish more than 300 overseas service outlets by 2025. By 2027, it seeks to rank among the top three global exporters of new energy vehicles (NEVs), with a long-term goal of having overseas sales account for over half of its total deliveries by 2030.

On the technology front, XPENG plans to accelerate the development of its Turing AI intelligent driving system, targeting full-scenario autonomous driving capabilities by 2026. Simultaneously, the company is pushing forward with the global rollout of its ultra-fast charging network, creating an efficient energy replenishment ecosystem for users worldwide.

[Cobalt] Cobalt Powder Weekly Review

The cobalt powder market still showed no improvement this week, with both buyers and sellers lacking willingness to take the initiative and actual transactions remaining sluggish. Although producer offers still held in the range of 430,000-450,000 yuan/mt, the center of actual deals gradually shifted toward the low end, with some transactions dipping to 420,000-430,000 yuan/mt and high-priced material clearly lacking acceptance. Pressure in the trading segment increased, as low-priced offers appeared frequently and continuously pulled down market psychological price levels. Downstream, end-user orders at cemented carbide enterprises were weak, raw material consumption cycles lengthened, procurement was mainly limited to cargo pick-up under long-term contracts, and spot restocking was minimal. Weaker cobalt carbonate prices further weakened cost support. Overall market sentiment was bearish, and cobalt powder prices may continue to weaken and hit bottom in the short term.

[Cobalt] Cobalt Sulphate Weekly Review

This week, the cobalt sulphate market extended its weak trend, with psychological price levels between buyers and sellers continuing to diverge and transactions struggling to gain volume. Supply side, offers were clearly divergent: primary smelters had not yet fully digested earlier high-priced raw materials, and their offers remained around 80,000 yuan/mt, but with the MHP cobalt coefficient falling to around 80%, spot costs had already pulled back to 76,000-78,000 yuan/mt, and cost support had actually softened somewhat; recycling enterprises showed a stronger willingness to sell, with mainstream quotations at around 95% of the SMM low-end price, while some enterprises facing financial constraints continued to push down prices in exchange for liquidity, pushing low-priced resources in the market down to 70,000-72,000 yuan/mt, with a few isolated extreme deals heard at 68,000-70,000 yuan/mt, though still mainly sporadic spot orders. Demand side, conditions were weak, with downstream enterprises seeing only a slow recovery in orders, procurement limited to immediate needs, and some inquiry indications already pushed down to 68,000 yuan/mt, but the price spread between buyers and sellers remained wide, so actual concluded business was limited. In the short term, the cobalt sulphate market has yet to show clear signs of stopping the fall; price stabilisation still depends on a concentrated release of downstream restocking demand.

[Cobalt] Cobalt Intermediate Products Weekly Review

This week, the cobalt intermediate product market remained in a stalemate, with actual trading still in a vacuum. Recently, some miners launched tenders with indicative prices at around $21-22/lb, but amid continued weakness in cobalt salts and refined cobalt, downstream buyers and traders saw their psychological price levels pull back to around $17-19/lb, leaving a wide price spread between buyers and sellers; tenders continued to fail. Faced with the persistent stalemate, some miners have begun to consider changing their strategy, suspending direct sales of intermediate products and instead seeking toll manufacturers to process them into refined cobalt before selling, to avoid the risk of losses from direct sales at current low prices. In the short term, although miners are willing to hold prices firm, the lack of actual downstream purchasing support leaves the market locked in a stalemate, and price stabilization still awaits actual transactions to materialize.
