China’s EV giant Xpeng hits the accelerator in Central Europe with AutoWallis

The distribution will be handled through a newly established joint venture, owned equally (50-50) by AutoWallis and Salvador Caetano

AutoWallis Group has entered into a tripartite agreement with Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Xpeng and Portuguese automotive group Salvador Caetano to exclusively distribute the Xpeng brand in Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia.

Guangzhou-based Xpeng is currently the eighth-largest EV manufacturer in China – where one out of every two vehicles sold is electric. The company sold nearly 200,000 vehicles globally in 2024, and is projecting to double that figure to approximately 400,000 units in 2025.

AutoWallis already partners with Chinese brands BYD and MG, and the addition of Xpeng brings the group’s brand portfolio to 28. Sales of Xpeng vehicles in the region are expected to begin in the fall of 2025.

In April, 2025, Xpeng has officially entered the Polish market. At the launch event, the company showcased three of its electric vehicles: G9 SUV, G6 coupe SUV, and the P7 sedan.
