ووهان، الصين., Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  من 17 إلى 20 أكتوبر 2025، انطلقت فعالية “الابتكار يرسم ملامح المستقبل“ ضمن جولة JETOUR JMA التقنية للإعلام العالمي، في مدينة ووهان، بمقاطعة أنهوي. شهدت الجولة مشاركة واسعة من ممثّلين لوسائل إعلام دولية، من مختلف أنحاء العالم، الذين خاضوا في سلسلة من الأنشطة التفاعلية المميّزة، تضمّنت معارض تقنية، وورش عمل لتطوير المنتجات، إلى جانب جلسات قيادة تجريبية ميدانية. وقد أتاح البرنامج للضيوف الدوليّين فرصة للتعرف عن كثب على مسيرة JETOUR في مجال الابتكار، واستكشاف أحدث إنجازاتها في مجال تقنيات الهجين المتطورة.

المؤتمر العالمي للابتكار: عرض لآخر إنجازات “الهجين الفاخر للطرق الوعرة“

خلال الفعالية، شارك ممثلو وسائل الإعلام في مؤتمر الابتكار العالمي 2025 الذي جاء تحت شعار “الابتكار يرسم ملامح المستقبل“، حيث استعرضت JETOUR إنجازاتها في مجالات القيادة على الطرق الوعرة، وتقنيات الهجين، والأنظمة الذكية. كما عرضت المجموعة أحدث ابتكاراتها ضمن استراتيجيتها المسمّاة بـ“Travel+”،ـ والتي تركز على على توفير تجربة تنقّل ذكية ومتكاملة.

ومن أبرز ما كشفت عنه الشركة هو الجيل الجديد من منصّة القيادة الذكية متعدّدة التضاريس (GAIA)، والتي صُمّمت خصيصًا لتمنح أداءً فائقًا على مختلف أنواع الطرق، وتعزّز قدرات المركبات، بشكل ملحوظ، على التكيّف مع أصعب البيئات والتضاريس.

WeRide Launches Robotaxi and Robobus Pilots in Ras Al Khaimah, Expanding Into Third UAE Emirate

RAS AL KHAIMAH, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (Nasdaq: WRD), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, today announced the launch of Robotaxi GXR and Robobus pilot operations in partnership with the Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA).

This represents WeRide's first deployment in Ras Al Khaimah and its expansion into a third emirate in the UAE. The pilot integrates WeRide's autonomous vehicles (AVs) into Ras Al Khaimah's public transport system, laying the foundation for broader commercialization across the country. As the sole partner selected for the emirate's smart mobility strategy, WeRide is also the first and only AV company with active operations in Ras Al Khaimah.

The launch was marked by His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah becoming the first passenger to ride the WeRide Robobus on public roads. He was joined by Zhang Yiming, Chinese Ambassador to the UAE, and H.E. Eng. Esmaeel Hasan Alblooshi, Director General of RAKTA — underlining strong China–UAE collaboration in next–generation transport.

Starting today, WeRide's Robobus will operate across nine stops on Al Marjan Island, a fast–growing tourism and lifestyle hub in Ras Al Khaimah. Routes will connect hotels, resorts, and landmarks, including the Mövenpick Resort, Hampton by Hilton, and Pullman Hotel, with plans to extend into Mina Island. In parallel, the Robotaxi GXR will serve the city center of Ras Al Khaimah, expanding autonomous mobility beyond tourism areas into the daily lives of residents.

Commercial operations are scheduled to begin in early 2026 as part of RAKTA's public transport system. Passengers will be able to book Robotaxi rides and track Robobus locations via RAKTA's digital mobility app. Services will start with a safety officer onboard, with fully driverless operations planned for a later phase pending regulatory approval.

This launch marks a key milestone in RAKTA’s Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2030, which aims to integrate multiple transport modes into the existing mobility network while advancing sustainability. As part of this plan, RAKTA is developing a regulatory framework for the autonomous mobility sector in line with international best practices and building local capacity to oversee its implementation.

To strengthen collaboration, WeRide also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RAKTA during the launch ceremony, covering the provision of advanced technical solutions, operational support, and training to ensure the safe and efficient deployment of AVs in Ras Al Khaimah. Signed by H.E. Eng. Esmaeel Hasan Alblooshi, Director General of RAKTA, and Jennifer Li, CFO and Head of International of WeRide, the MoU sets the stage for future commercial operations and the broader integration of WeRide's AVs into the emirate's transport network.

The pilot operations and MoU signing follow His Highness Sheikh Saud’s visit to WeRide’s headquarters in Guangzhou last November.

Often called the “Las Vegas of the Middle East”, Ras Al Khaimah is accelerating its tourism push, particularly on Al Marjan Island, which will host the Middle East's first casino. Through its partnership with RAKTA, WeRide is supporting Ras Al Khaimah's vision for autonomous transport by enhancing first– and last–mile connectivity, and assisting in the development of protocols and operational standards for the wider deployment of AVs in the city.

WeRide Secures Robotaxi Trial Permit in Dubai and Wins First Place at Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (Nasdaq: WRD), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, secured a self–driving vehicle trial permit from Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) earlier this month to conduct Robotaxi trials in the city.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, with Dr. Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide

The company also won first place at the Dubai World Challenge for Self–Driving Transport, securing almost US$1 million in prize money for its leading tech competence and ongoing contributions to Dubai's autonomous driving ecosystem. The award was presented at the 2025 Dubai World Congress for Self–Driving Transport (DWC), where His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, visited WeRide's Robotaxi GXR display and reaffirmed the company’s role in shaping Dubai’s future smart mobility.

WeRide Robotaxi GXR in Dubai

WeRide's initial Robotaxi GXR trial service will cover core areas including Jumeirah's key commercial districts and the residential communities of Za’abeel First, Al Manara, Umm Suqeim, and Al Safa. Future operations will extend to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai International Airport, and additional downtown areas.

The rollout will start with 50 Robotaxi GXRs in Dubai, with plans to expand the Middle East fleet to 1,000 vehicles and ultimately deploy tens of thousands of Robotaxis by 2030. With this permit, Dubai becomes the 11th city worldwide and the second in the UAE to deploy WeRide Robotaxis.

Earlier this year, WeRide obtained the first batch of Dubai road test licenses and has already started testing in the city's core areas. In the next phase, WeRide will commence trials with an on–board safety officer on the Uber platform within the year, with fully driverless commercial operations targeted for 2026.

At DWC, WeRide also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RTA, outlining collaboration on the Dubai Autonomous Zone. The agreement reinforces WeRide's commitment to supporting Dubai's transformation into a global innovation hub for autonomous technology across passenger transport, logistics, and urban mobility.

WeRide continues to be a global leader in autonomous mobility, with Robotaxi testing or operations across 11 cities in five countries — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Ordos, Riyadh, Zurich, Shanghai, and Singapore.

Beyond Dubai, WeRide is conducting fully driverless Robotaxi testing in Abu Dhabi, marking the first and only fully driverless Robotaxi testing and soon operation outside of China and the US. This represents a crucial step toward fully unmanned commercial operations and underscores WeRide’s leadership not only in the Middle East but also on the global stage.

WeRide Secures Strategic Equity Investment from Grab, Partners to Deploy Robotaxis and Autonomous Shuttles in Southeast Asia

NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD), a global leader in autonomous driving technology, announced today that Grab (NASDAQ: GRAB), Southeast Asia’s leading superapp, has committed to a strategic equity investment in WeRide. The investment is part of a strategic partnership between both companies to accelerate the deployment and commercialisation of Level 4 Robotaxis and shuttles in Southeast Asia, and reflects a shared vision to seamlessly integrate WeRide’s autonomous vehicles (AVs) into Grab’s network to enhance service and safety levels.     

Grab's investment is expected to be completed by the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and WeRide’s preferred timing. It supports WeRide’s growth strategy to expand its commercial AV fleet in Southeast Asia and advance AI–driven mobility.

This partnership will establish a framework for deploying autonomous solutions across Grab’s network to enhance operational efficiency and scalability. As part of this strategic collaboration, WeRide will integrate its autonomous driving technology into Grab’s fleet management, vehicle matching and routing ecosystem. In addition, WeRide and Grab will train, upskill and transition interested Grab driver–partners and local communities to high–value career pathways within the AV industry.

“WeRide’s vision for Southeast Asia is to deploy thousands of Robotaxis across the region, through a progressive rollout aligned with local regulations and societal readiness. Grab, our newest partner and investor, is a household name in Southeast Asia with unmatched regional expertise and scale in ride–hailing and digital services. Together, we will combine WeRide's advanced AV technology and operational know–how with Grab's strengths to accelerate safe, efficient Robotaxi services, enter new markets, and reinforce our first–mover leadership in shaping the future of mobility,” said Dr. Tony Han, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of WeRide.     

“We want everyone in Southeast Asia to have access to reliable transportation whenever they need it. However, manpower constraints remain a challenge. We believe AVs can complement our driver network and be deployed in cities with significant driver shortages. We look forward to working with WeRide to extensively test their vehicles across diverse Southeast Asian environments. This will allow us to gain valuable insights into their real–world performance, adapt the technology to further enhance safety and reliability, and meet the region’s unique needs,” said Anthony Tan, Group Chief Executive Officer and Co–Founder of Grab.

A scalable approach to the deployment and management of AVs.
WeRide will collaborate with Grab on the technical and operational requirements for seamless, end–to–end integration into Grab’s fleet management system, in the following areas:

  1. Optimising dispatch and routing: Leveraging seamless integration of WeRide and Grab’s platforms to efficiently deploy and route AVs, enhancing passenger experience.
  2. Maximising vehicle uptime: Developing robust maintenance, repair, and charging protocols to ensure operational efficiency.
  3. Measuring safety performance: Leveraging WeRide’s regional operational experience to train AVs to navigate Southeast Asia’s traffic conditions, and assess their ability to reduce accidents caused by human errors.
  4. Remote monitoring and teleoperations: Establishing processes to ensure safety and provide remote support during emergency scenarios.
  5. Customer support: Implementing systems for rapid issue resolution to deliver seamless service.
  6. Training and upskilling: Tapping on WeRide trainers’ extensive AV remote supervision experience and GrabAcademy’s track record in upskilling driver–partners to prepare and transition driver–partners and local communities for future roles.

This expanded partnership builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in March 2025, where WeRide and Grab committed to exploring the technical feasibility, commercial viability, and job creation potential of AVs in the region.
