Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai” or the “Company”), a global leader in achieving large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility, announced it has received a permit from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Mobility and Public Works to begin Level 4 (L4) Robotaxi testing. This pivotal milestone comes as Pony.ai establishes its first dedicated European research and testing hub in Luxembourg, making it the first autonomous vehicle company to do so. Pony.ai’s current testing permits across China, the United States, South Korea and Luxembourg now enable it to move closer to building a world of safer, more efficient and accessible autonomous mobility.

Pony.ai’s autonomous vehicle testing will be conducted in partnership with Emile Weber, Luxembourg’s leading mobility solutions provider. The collaboration combines Pony.ai’s cutting-edge autonomous technology with Emile Weber’s extensive transportation expertise, spanning public and private transit, taxis, vehicle rentals, and tourism operations.
“Pony.ai is honored to be among the first companies awarded a permit for autonomous vehicle testing in Luxembourg,” said Dr. James Peng, Co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai. “The country offers an ideal environment for our European operations due to its central location, supportive regulatory framework, and commitment to innovation in mobility. Our partnership with Emile Weber provides valuable local expertise as we begin testing our technology in European conditions. We thank Luxembourg’s Ministry of Mobility and Public Works for their confidence in our technology, and look forward to a collaborative and productive partnership as we work to integrate autonomous solutions into Luxembourg’s future transportation ecosystem.”

In September, Pony.ai formally established its European division and hub in Luxembourg, now serving as the foundation for the Company’s R&D and testing initiatives in the region. In October, the Company entered a partnership with Emile Weber to research, develop, and pilot autonomous vehicles solutions in Luxembourg.
