Equipped with a comprehensive redundancy system, including architecture, F-O steer-by-wire chassis, computing units, and braking systems, WeRide GXR effectively prevents single-point failures and ensures passenger safety. The new HPC 2.0 high-performance computing platform delivers over 1,300 TOPS of AI computing power, efficiently meeting the vehicle's computing demands. As a production Robotaxi model, WeRide GXR boasts industry-leading L4-level capabilities for public road operation, easily handling complex scenarios such as peak traffic hours, mixed traffic conditions, and high-speed driving at night.

### Spacious
WeRide GXR offers an impressive vehicle length of 5,018mm, an interior cabin height of 1,340mm, and a wheelbase of 3,100mm. It is the first to eliminate the front passenger seat, freeing up more space for passengers and achieving the highest "space efficiency" in the Robotaxi industry. The second row provides over 0.5 meters of legroom, while the third row offers over 0.4 meters, ensuring ample stretch and comfort for all passengers.

(Spacious and comfort design for all seats)

### Convenient

WeRide GXR introduces the world’s first hidden B-pillar design, allowing the front door and sliding side door to open simultaneously. The door opening reaches up to 1,831mm in width and 1,285mm in height, creating an expansive entryway that allows passengers to enter and exit the vehicle with ease. 

![图5.jpg](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/5_47949b778d.jpg)
(Dual-door design without B-pillar, achieving true "entry and exit freedom")

WeRide GXR also features a designated carry-on luggage area that accommodates at least one backpack and one 22-inch suitcase. Passengers can load their luggage and board the vehicle with a single door opening, eliminating the need to access the trunk —saving time and effort, especially for business travelers. 

![图6.jpg](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/6_837d16c87f.jpg)
(Luggage within reach)

### Safe

Safety is WeRide’s top priority. WeRide GXR ensures protection not only during driving but also within the vehicle’s interior. The cabin features soft-edged design elements to provide baby-level safety care. Each of the four doors has emergency exit signage, and the center console contains a gradual stop button and a safety hammer for breaking windows in case of emergencies, allowing passengers to exit quickly and safely when needed.

(No sharp corners, ensuring baby-level safety care) 

### WeRide Go App—Ride with Ease
Calling a WeRide GXR Robotaxi is simple with the WeRide Go App. Once GXR is open to the public, passengers can use the app to locate GXR operating zones, select the nearest pickup point and destination, and tap "Call Now" to start their GXR journey.

New Favorite in the Property Management Industry, WeRide's RoboSweeper S1 present at the Guangzhou International Smart Property Expo

On September 10, 2024, WeRide, in collaboration with the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone (referred to as "Hengqin Cooperation Zone"), officially launched the autonomous vehicle commercial pilot, commencing the fee-charged operation service for WeRide Robobus. This is a significant milestone as the second Robobus paid service in South China, while also representing the first batch of Robobus commercial operation projects since the establishment of the Hengqin Cooperation Zone.
![横琴01.jpg](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/01_2eaad0c877.jpg)
Meanwhile, WeRide has officially obtained approval to conduct regular road tests in the Hengqin Cooperation Zone for its Robobus with no steering wheel nor safety driver in the driving position. This lays a solid foundation for achieving purely driverless commercial operations. During the testing period, WeRide Robobus achieved zero safety incidents and manual interventions, fully demonstrating the maturity and solid tech of WeRide autonomous vehicles.
![横琴02.png](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/02_66346f08b5.png)
The Hengqin Cooperation Zone is located on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary and serves as an important hub connecting Macao with the mainland China, with the closest point to Macao being only 187 meters away. As a prominent feature of the cooperation zone's "Smart City + Intelligent Transportation Industry," WeRide Robobus has been conducting passenger-carrying demonstration tests in the cooperation zone since July 2023. To date, it has accumulated over 100,000 kilometers of autonomous driving and served more than 20,000 passengers, continuously providing residents and tourists of Guangdong and Macao with convenient, green, and intelligent transportation experiences.
![横琴03.png](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/03_795b8eaf36.png)
The approval to commercially operate paid services in Hengqin marks WeRide's second Robobus paid service in South China. On December 30, 2023, WeRide, in partnership with Guangzhou Bus Group, launched the nation's first commercial paid operation service for Robobus, which has now conducted 10 operational routes. The continuous commercial implementation reaffirms the maturity and replicability of the WeRide business model and our remarkable speed in commercialization.

Currently, WeRide Robobus has conducted road tests and operations in nearly 30 cities worldwide, including Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, and will continue to bring safe, convenient, and intelligent autonomous driving services to more regions and communities.

Recently, WeRide in collaboration with Guangdong Huadalong City Management Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huadalong") has jointly initiated the commercial implementation of WeRide's Robosweeper S1 in Shantou, Guangdong. This marks Shantou's first L4-level commercial autonomous sanitation project and the debut of WeRide's S1 Robosweeper in Shantou and the greater eastern Guangdong region.

(The WeRide Robosweeper S1 debuted at Shantou Chaoren Wharf)

Since June this year, WeRide Robosweeper S1 has undergone safety tests at Chaoren Wharf Square in Shantou, and it will carry out regular driverless sanitation operations covering both day and night throughout the Haibin Road area after the trial operation concludes. Located on the west section of Haibin Road, Chaoren Wharf connects the historical cultural axis of the old town and is a popular landmark showcasing the port characteristics of Shantou. 

Released in April this year, WeRide Robosweeper S1 is the world's first L4 level autonomous sanitation equipment capable of full-scene coverage for open roads, featuring 360-degree all-around perception and operational capabilities, suitable for various hard surfaces, and can operate in squares, side roads, sidewalks, and other road environments, covering an area of over 120,000 square meters on a single charge.

 (WeRide Robosweeper S1 operates at Shantou Chaoren Wharf) 

The debut of WeRide Robosweeper S1 at Chaoren Wharf in Shantou has enabled cooperation between traditional sanitation and human-machine collaboration, attracting attention from several media outlets. In a report by the Shantou Daily, sanitation worker Cheng Longchao told reporters: "This vehicle is not afraid of high temperatures or cold, improving the quality of sanitation work and reducing the intensity of cleaning operations, thus lessening the burden on us sanitation workers." As a coastal area, Chaoren Wharf often faces harsh weather conditions such as high temperatures and strong winds. WeRide Robosweeper S1 is undaunted by extreme environments, able to automatically awaken, follow preset routes for patrolling and cleaning, and complete automatic waste disposal, becoming a powerful assistant for outdoor sanitation workers.
![3.jpg](https://d2s675kp4ttxrq.cloudfront.net/uploads/3_023db3c358.jpg)
(Shantou Daily reports on WeRide Robosweeper S1 )

During the trial operation, project partner Huadalong also praised the cleaning effect of WeRide Robosweeper S1. Project manager Li Jian mentioned in an interview with a reporter from the Shantou Daily: "This autonomous driving sanitation vehicle has shown very good trial results." He stated that there are plans to further deploy autonomous sanitation equipment to wider areas such as Haibin Road, Jinhuan Road, and Yuejin Road, contributing to improving the quality and efficiency of Shantou's sanitation work. 

WeRide's smart sanitation products have already been implemented in cities including Guangzhou, Beijing, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, Dalian, Dongguan, Singapore, etc., significantly improving urban environments with their high operational efficiency and quality, empowering local traditional sanitation to upgrade intelligently. This not only demonstrates the product's high adaptability in various environments but also reaffirms the replicability of WeRide's business model.
