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. "We are excited to introduce consumers in Switzerland to a new standard in electric mobility, combining XPENG’s innovative technology with exceptional design to deliver an unparalleled experience that meets the demands of today's drivers."

Strong market presence in Central Europe

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.”

Sustainable mobility solutions
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.
