According to BlockBeats, on August 24th, XPeng Motors announced that its robotics division has completed its first round of financing, raising over $900 million, bringing its post-investment valuation to over $6.3 billion, setting a new record for the largest single private equity financing in China's embodied intelligence sector. The round was led by IDG Capital, with Tencent and Alibaba participating as strategic investors. Gaorong Capital, an early investor in Momenta and Logic Robotics, also joined the round.

The funds will be used for robot hardware and software development, physical AI model training and optimization, high-quality data acquisition, end-to-end mass production facility construction, and global expansion. XPeng aims to achieve a monthly production of 1,000 IRON humanoid robots by the end of this year, initially deployed in its own retail stores and industrial parks, with commercial sales and delivery starting in China and overseas markets in 2027.

In June, CEO He Xiaopeng announced that he would personally lead the robotics business, pushing humanoid robot development towards mass production. Currently, many automakers are accelerating their entry into the robotics field, and Xpeng's accumulated capabilities in sensors, software, batteries, and supply chain management for intelligent driving are considered core advantages. In April of this year, Shanghai-based embody intelligence startup TARS Robotics completed a Pre-A round of financing exceeding $455 million, which was then considered the largest single private equity financing in China's embody intelligence sector. Xpeng's robotics division has now surpassed this record with over $900 million.
