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.
