XPeng will roll out its IRON humanoid robot in Europe in the second half of 2027. Mass production is planned for late 2026. Deliveries will begin in the first half of 2027. The first jobs will be commercial in XPeng sales centers. Industry and home use are later stages with no dates. The robot has 76 degrees of freedom and runs on three XPeng Turing chips. XPeng did not name the first European countries or the price. The robotics unit raised over $900 million in August at a $6.3 billion valuation.
