Automaker Stellantis and Chinese autonomous driving company Pony.ai have announced a partnership to develop and deploy robotaxis across Europe.
Under a non-binding agreement, the collaboration will integrate Pony.ai’s self-driving technology into Stellantis’s electric mid-size van platform, which comes equipped with advanced sensors designed for autonomous operation.
The first test fleet will be based on the Peugeot e-Traveller and will begin trials in Luxembourg, Pony.ai’s European headquarters, within the coming months. The companies plan to expand deployments to additional European cities starting in 2026.
This partnership builds on Pony.ai’s growing international footprint. Earlier this year, the company secured an autonomous vehicle testing permit from Luxembourg and announced a partnership with Uber to bring robotaxis to markets across Europe and the Middle East.

Pony.ai, which is already listed on the Nasdaq, is also pursuing a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as it continues to scale its global operations.
