BERN/MÖLNDAL, February 3, 2025 – XPENG, a leading high-tech smart mobility company, announces its arrival on the Swiss market. The company has entered into an agreement with Hedin Mobility Group (publ) regarding the import and distribution rights for XPENG in Switzerland. The collaboration includes import and distribution, as well as sales of vehicles, aftermarket services, and spare parts. Sales will begin in the market during the second quarter of 2025.
The introduction of XPENG in Switzerland marks another milestone for XPENG in Europe. "Our brand launch and our partnership with Hedin Mobility Group bolster XPENG's European ambitions," says Alex Tang, Head of International Division of Sales and Service at XPENG.

The Group is a prominent and trusted partner in the European automotive industry, and I am confident that together we can make XPENG a success in this market.”

XPENG becomes Hedin Mobility Group's fourteenth distribution brand, which means that Hedin Mobility Group further strengthens its position as a leading European distributor. The strategic partnership with XPENG also underscores Hedin Mobility Group's strong commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable mobility solutions in the European markets where the company operates.
“We are proud to take our collaboration with XPENG to the next level. We are already a retailer for the brand in Belgium and Luxembourg. Innovation, sustainability, and smart technology are some of XPENG's hallmarks, and this aligns perfectly with our ambition to offer our customers not just a car but an advanced driving experience. Together with XPENG, we are determined to contribute to a greener vehicle fleet”, comments Anders Hedin, CEO of Hedin Mobility Group.
