On February 11th, Pony.ai (NASDAQ: PONY / HKEX: 2026) proudly announced its inclusion as the first and sole autonomous driving company in the MSCI China Index. This milestone not only underscores Pony.ai's prominent standing in the global capital markets but also signifies the international mainstream capital markets' acknowledgment of its business model and enduring value. The MSCI China Index is a pivotal benchmark for global investment institutions when allocating Chinese assets.

Pony.ai's swift entry into the index, just three months post-listing, not only showcases its interim achievements but also paves the way for mandatory position establishment by passive funds. James Peng, the founder and CEO of Pony.ai, remarked that the Robotaxi industry has embarked on a new era, and Pony.ai is dedicated to boosting both operational and capital efficiency. This index inclusion will offer a more expansive platform for engaging with global institutional investors.

As the pioneer Chinese company to secure fully driverless Robotaxi permits in all four first-tier cities, Pony.ai is making steady strides in its commercialization journey. With a fleet comprising 1,159 vehicles and the official rollout of its first mass-produced BZ4X Robotaxi, Pony.ai is poised for even greater success.
