Pony AI plans to launch over 2,000 robotaxis across Europe in partnership with Uber, starting with Zagreb and expanding to four additional cities before moving into the Middle East.
The autonomous vehicle company will roll out its robotaxi fleet across European cities in collaboration with the ride-hailing platform. Zagreb serves as the initial deployment location, with four more European cities to follow in subsequent phases.
The expansion marks a significant step for Pony AI's European operations and represents a major partnership between the Chinese autonomous vehicle maker and Uber. The robotaxis will operate in multiple markets as the companies scale their autonomous ride-hailing services.
Following the European rollout, Pony AI intends to extend its robotaxi operations into the Middle East, signaling the company's global ambitions beyond its current markets. The timeline for Middle East expansion has not been specified.
Pony AI has previously operated autonomous vehicle services in China and has been building its international presence. The Uber partnership provides the company with established infrastructure and customer access across European cities.
