WeRide has quietly submitted an application for a secondary listing in Hong Kong, signifying a significant advancement following its Nasdaq listing in 2024. This Hong Kong IPO aims to secure ample funds for research and development, market expansion, and operational needs, thereby accelerating the execution of global projects. Currently, WeRide has established autonomous driving-related operations in 30 cities across 10 nations and has successfully obtained operational licenses in several countries. Its latest Robotaxi model, the "GXR," has been authorized to offer "driverless" autonomous driving paid services in Beijing, with plans to deploy autonomous driving services in 15 international cities within the next five years, in deepened collaboration with Uber. Furthermore, Uber will invest an additional $100 million to bolster WeRide's technological innovations. This Hong Kong listing is deemed a pivotal move for WeRide to enhance its global strategic layout, anticipated to propel the commercialization of its autonomous driving business to unprecedented heights.
