Stellantis and Pony.ai, a global leader in autonomous driving technology, announced they have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of robotaxi solutions in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collaboration, through Pony.ai\u2019s European division headquartered in Luxembourg, will integrate Pony.ai\u2019s advanced autonomous driving software with Stellantis\u2019 medium-size van (K0) AV-Ready Platform – BEV version, to deliver safe, scalable and efficient urban mobility solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies plan to begin deploying test vehicles based on the Peugeot e-Traveller model in Luxembourg in the coming months, followed by a gradual rollout across European cities starting in 2026.
