Chinese electric vehicle maker XPeng said on Monday it has partnered with Swedish dealership chain Hedin Automotive to expand its sales network in Germany.
“Starting in February 2025, Hedin Automotive Germany will become an official XPeng sales partner, offering our smart electric vehicles in Saarlouis and Schwetzingen,” XPeng said in a statement.
The Guangzhou-based automaker currently has 23 retail locations in Germany and aims to reach 60 by year-end. In 2024, XPeng registered 393 vehicles in Europe’s largest car market.
Over the last few weeks, the company continued its European expansion and officially launched Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland and Finland.
Hedin Automotive’s parent company, Hedin Mobility, has existing ties with another Chinese automaker, BYD. In August last year, BYD agreed to acquire Hedin Electric Mobility, a subsidiary of Hedin Mobility, which had been serving as BYD’s general importer in Germany since 2022.
Following the acquisition, BYD gained the ability to sell vehicles directly to dealers, allowing greater control over pricing and availability in Europe’s largest car market.
XPeng said over the weekend that it delivered 30,350 vehicles in January — a 268% increase from the same month last year.
The Mona M03 sedan, launched in August, delivered more than 15,000 units per month for two consecutive months, while the brand’s latest model XPeng P7+ surpassed 20,000 cumulative deliveries within its first two months on the market.
Globally, XPeng delivered 190,068 vehicles in 2024, a 34% increase from the previous year, with an average weekly sales rate exceeding 10,000 units. The company is expected to introduce its first hybrid model this year.
