As the sole partner selected for Ras Al Khaimah's smart mobility strategy, WeRide is the first and only AV company with active operations in the emirate. This pilot integrates our AVs into the public transport system, paving the way for broader commercialization across the UAE.
His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, became the first passenger to ride the WeRide Robobus on Ras Al Khaimah's public roads. He was joined by Zhang Yiming, Chinese Ambassador to the UAE, and His Excellency Eng. Esmaeel Hasan Alblooshi, Director General of RAKTA, highlighting close China-UAE collaboration in advancing next-generation transport solutions.
🏝️ Robobus: Operating on Al Marjan Island across nine stops, including Mövenpick Resort, Hampton by Hilton, and Pullman Hotel. Future plans to expand to Mina Island.
🏙️ Robotaxi GXR: Serving Ras Al Khaimah's city center.
Commercial operations are expected in early 2026 with a safety driver onboard. Passengers will be able to book Robotaxi rides and track Robobus locations via RAKTA's digital platforms. Fully driverless operations are planned for a later phase pending regulatory approval.

We're kicking off with 50 #robotaxi GXRs across key areas like #jumeirah, Za’abeel First, Al Manara, Umm Suqeim, and Al Safa — soon expanding to Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai International Airport. Our ambition is to grow the Middle East fleet to 1,000 vehicles and ultimately deploy tens of thousands of Robotaxis by 2030.
📍 Timeline:
- This year: Trials with an on-board safety officer
- Early 2026: Fully driverless commercial operations
We also showcased our next-gen AV technology at the Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport, engaging with Dubai's royal family, government officials, and the public.
🇦🇪 HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, visited our vehicle display featuring the #Robotaxi #GXR and #Robobus, reaffirming WeRide's role in shaping Dubai's autonomous transport future.

Starting this week, Ai.R will begin route familiarization in Punggol, with full passenger service expected by early 2026.
Ai.R was unveiled to the public at the "Autonomous Shuttle in Punggol" event, organized by the Ministry of Transport and attended by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong and Acting Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow, alongside Dr. Kerry Xu, General Manager of WeRide (Singapore).
🚕🚌 Both our GXRs and Robobus have passed Singapore's stringent Milestone 1 (M1) assessment, making them the first autonomous vehicles designated for Punggol to attain this certification. A safety officer will be onboard in the initial phase, before eventually shifting to remote monitoring.

What's happening next:
- From today: Field preparations at Leuven Station and Heverlee in downtown Leuven.
- Mid-September: Public road testing begins, with a safety officer onboard for the first phase.
- Mid-November to end-January 2026: Pilot shuttle service operated by De Lijn — Belgium's first commercial autonomous vehicle in mixed and complex traffic. Passengers will be able to board using digital tickets via app, SMS, or subscription.
- After end-January 2026: Regular service starts.
Since launching the GXR in October 2024, WeRide has taken just 11 months to complete road testing, secure model certification and an operating license, and transition from on-board safety drivers to fully driverless commercial service — showcasing the signature 'WeRide Speed' in large-scale Robotaxi commercialization.
Our GXRs are now undergoing testing at CETRAN, Singapore's dedicated AV testing facility. After successfully achieving Milestone 1 certification and pending regulatory approval, we expect them to be deployed on designated public roads as autonomous shuttles by end-2025, in partnership with a leading regional mobility service provider.
We'll also be bringing additional GXR vehicles into Singapore to scale testing and accelerate progress toward public road commercial deployment.
From August 29-31, it becomes a romantic ride on wheels, featuring a Mobile Flower Market where passengers can pick a fresh flower for someone special — creating a memorable journey for all aboard.
At WeRide, we believe autonomous mobility is more than technology — it’s about creating meaningful moments and experiences for people.

The new B888 line is now part of the city's official public transport network, connecting Luohu Port to Shenzhen CBD in just 30 minutes, showcasing how autonomous mobility can operate seamlessly in real-world urban settings. Our Robobus navigates busy central areas like Guomao, Di Wang Tower, and Shenzhen Grand Theater with precision and reliability, managing complex traffic and pedestrian flows.
By unifying sensing and decision-making into a one-stage architecture, WePilot 3.0 helps the vehicle to "see and act" simultaneously, like a skilled human driver. This means faster responses, shorter routes, and higher fault tolerance.
Validated and ready for mass production and vehicle deployment this year, it marks a major leap forward in Level 2 assisted driving.
