Stellantis and Pony.ai are collaborating to develop robotaxis for the European market, starting with trials in Luxembourg. The partnership combines Pony.ai's autonomous driving software with Stellantis' electric vehicle platform. Testing will commence in the coming months using Peugeot e-Traveller vans, with plans to expand to other European cities in 2026.
The collaboration aims to integrate Stellantis' medium-sized van with Pony.ai's advanced autonomous driving software. The program will focus on safety validation, regulatory readiness and scalable robotaxi applications. This partnership marks Pony.ai's entry into the European market and intensifies the global robotaxi race, following Waymo's expansion into London.
The companies will jointly develop and test SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicles, which enable vehicles to perform all driving tasks under certain conditions. Stellantis will provide its AV-ready platform, leveraging its position as a leading manufacturer of light commercial vehicles in Europe. The initial focus is on battery-electric medium-size vans, ideal for robotaxi applications.
