As a result of this partnership, Xpeng will become a supplier of electric vehicles to Didi, a prominent ride-hailing company.</p> <p><b><a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/chinas-xpeng-take-over-didis-autonomus-vehicle-unit-eyeing-2024-launch-2023-08-28/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/chinas-xpeng-take-over-didis-autonomus-vehicle-unit-eyeing-2024-launch-2023-08-28/&source=gmail&ust=1693332672381000&usg=AOvVaw3AE6mpA5hVmCtjYTk1BZN5">In response to this announcement</a></b>, Xpeng’s shares, despite being one of China’s smaller EV manufacturers currently operating at a loss, surged by 11% during Hong Kong trading. This development closely follows Xpeng’s recent collaboration with Germany’s Volkswagen, involving a stake sale and partnership.</p> <p>Under the terms of the all-stock agreement with Didi, Xpeng is slated to introduce an A-class model in the upcoming year, debuting under a new brand known as MONA. This project is set to target the 150,000 yuan ($20,000) price range, a significant deviation from Xpeng’s existing offerings which are typically priced above 200,000 yuan.</p> <p><strong>Related: <a href="https://www.competitionpolicyinternational.com/chinese-watchdog-fines-tencent-alibaba-didi-for-unreported-merger-deals/">Chinese Watchdog Fines Tencent, Alibaba & Didi For Unreported Merger Deals</a></strong></p> <p>Xpeng’s CEO, He Xiaopeng, acknowledged the company’s comparative disadvantage as an EV startup in efficiently managing scale and costs within the 150,000 yuan segment, in contrast to established automakers like Volkswagen. He stressed that the collaboration with Didi will facilitate a stronger-than-anticipated initial scale for the vehicle, achieving a balance between innovation and supply chain management. He also expressed confidence in retail sales of the new MONA model, projecting a minimum of 100,000 units sold annually.</p> <p>The prior speculation surrounding Didi’s EV car development suggested ambitions to enter the manufacturing sector. However, this announcement marks a departure from that trajectory, indicating Didi’s new direction. This deal represents Didi’s first significant transaction since its apps were reinstated on China’s app stores in January, following a regulatory crackdown on its operations.</p> <p><strong>Source: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/chinas-xpeng-take-over-didis-autonomus-vehicle-unit-eyeing-2024-launch-2023-08-28/">Reuters</a></strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="d-none d-lg-block col-3 ms-5 me-auto small" id="sidebar-container">  <h4 class="fst-italic">Featured News</h4> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/uk-authority-probes-safran-collins-aerospace-deal/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">UK Authority Probes Safran-Collins Aerospace Deal</a><br> <small>Feb 19, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/nhoch/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/mastercards-settlement-faces-backlash-in-landmark-uk-class-action-case/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">Mastercard’s Settlement Faces Backlash in Landmark UK Class Action Case</a><br> <small>Feb 19, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/nhoch/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/economic-consulting-veteran-launches-firm-focused-on-ma-antitrust/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">Economic Consulting Veteran Launches Firm Focused on M&A Antitrust</a><br> <small>Feb 19, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/nhoch/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/whatsapp-faces-eu-oversight-after-surpassing-dsa-user-threshold/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">WhatsApp Faces EU Oversight After Surpassing DSA User Threshold</a><br> <small>Feb 19, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/nhoch/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/eu-regulators-probe-safrans-1-8-billion-collins-aerospace-deal/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">EU Regulators Probe Safran’s $1.8 Billion Collins Aerospace Deal</a><br> <small>Feb 19, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/nhoch/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <h4 class="fst-italic mt-4">Antitrust Mix by CPI</h4> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/antitrust-chronicle-international-criminal-enforcement/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">Antitrust Chronicle® – International Criminal Enforcement</a><br> <small>Jan 23, 2025 by <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/author/jrothpymnts-com/" title="Posts by CPI" rel="author">CPI</a> </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/the-antitrust-divisions-recent-work-to-combat-international-cartels/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">The Antitrust Division’s Recent Work to Combat International Cartels</a><br> <small>Jan 23, 2025 by Emma Burnham & Benjamin Christenson </small> </p> <p class="mt-3"> <a href="https://www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/information-sharing-the-new-frontier-of-u-s-antitrust-enforcement/" class="mb-0 fw-bold">Information Sharing: The New Frontier of U.S. Antitrust Enforcement</a><br> <small>Jan 23, 2025 by Brian P.
