WeRide already operates in France, Belgium and Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership continues WeRide&#8217;s asset-light model, relying on local operators&#8217; fleet management capabilities and user channels to lower the cost of entering new markets.<\/p>\n<p>GreenMobility runs the Nordic region&#8217;s largest free-floating car-sharing network, with a fleet of more than 1,500 EVs.<\/p>\n<p>The two companies will work with the Danish Road Directorate (Vejdirektoratet) and the Danish Road Traffic Authority (F\u00e6rdselsstyrelsen), conducting testing and deployment in line with current Danish and EU regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Han, WeRide&#8217;s founder and CEO, said the partnership is another milestone in the company&#8217;s European expansion, with the goal of establishing a model that can be scaled across international markets.<\/p>\n<p>Kasper Gjedsted, group CEO of GreenMobility, said the company wants to extend the operating experience it has built up over millions of shared car trips into autonomous mobility.<\/p>\n<p>WeRide&#8217;s autonomous driving products are now deployed in more than 40 cities, with a Level 4 fleet of over 3,000 vehicles and autonomous driving permits in eight countries.<\/p>\n<p>Its partners include international mobility platforms such as Uber and Grab, as well as local operators including AVOMO, SBB, ioki, K2, Tawasul, AIDriver and Bayanat.<\/p>\n<p>With competition intensifying at home, Chinese autonomous driving companies are turning en masse to Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Pony AI (NASDAQ: PONY) said <a
