- Pony.ai, Bolt, and Stellantis will begin Robotaxi trials in Luxembourg to validate safety and regulatory compliance.
- Stellantis supplies Level 4 MPVs and engineering support while Bolt handles European ride-hail integration.
- Pony.ai targets rapid expansion with 1,700+ vehicles, Q1 Robotaxi revenue up 395%, and a bigger 2026 fleet/revenue goal.
On June 9, Pony.ai announced a partnership with European mobility platform Bolt and global automotive group Stellantis to launch a Robotaxi testing program in Luxembourg.
The initiative will be built around Pony.ai’s seventh-generation Robotaxi system and will focus on validating vehicle safety, operational performance, and regulatory compliance under local road conditions, laying the groundwork for future fully driverless commercial operations.
Under the cooperation framework, Stellantis will provide MPV vehicles based on its Level 4 autonomous driving platform and support vehicle engineering and manufacturing.
Bolt will leverage its experience in the European ride-hailing market to provide platform integration and mobility service infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Pony.ai will contribute its autonomous driving technology stack and fleet operation expertise.
The three companies are currently advancing preparations for autonomous driving tests, with a primary focus on urban-scale safety validation and operational system development.
The testing program will cover vehicle deployment, ride-hailing platform integration, fleet operations, and coordination with regulatory authorities.
The partnership builds on an existing strategic cooperation framework among the three companies and aims to accelerate the deployment of autonomous mobility services across Europe.
For Pony.ai, Europe represents only one component of its broader global expansion strategy.
The company’s Robotaxi operations now span nine countries, with passenger-carrying Robotaxi services already operating in China, Croatia, Qatar, Singapore, and South Korea.
Just one week ago, Pony.ai was officially added to Hong Kong’s Southbound Stock Connect program. Meanwhile, its business scale continues to expand rapidly.
According to the company’s latest disclosures, Robotaxi revenue reached RMB 59.12 million ($8.72 million) in the first quarter, surging 395.4% year-on-year.
As of May 24, Pony.ai’s Robotaxi fleet had exceeded 1,700 vehicles.
As its operating network continues to expand, Pony.ai has recently raised its full-year targets.
The company expects 2026 Robotaxi revenue to exceed 3.5 times its 2025 level.
It has also increased its fleet target from 3,000 vehicles to 3,500 vehicles, with service coverage planned for more than 20 cities worldwide.
