XPENG has secured more than 770 million euros to accelerate its robotics business, marking what the company describes as the largest single private funding round in the Chinese Physical AI industry to date.
The funding round, which resulted in a post-investment valuation exceeding 5.4 billion euros, was led by IDG Capital. It included participation from Gaorong Ventures and strategic investment from Tencent and Alibaba.
