Enhancing Customer Experience through OTA Updates
XPENG’s European operations prioritize continuous improvement, as demonstrated by the company’s over-the-air (OTA) vehicle updates, available in markets like Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden. More than 80% of customer-requested improvements have been addressed through these updates, further enhancing the driving experience. XPENG G9 owner Hans Jonsson praised the brand’s commitment to customer feedback, stating, “As customers, we feel very much a part of the XPENG family and team.”

The event emphasized XPENG’s long-term commitment to Europe, including potential local manufacturing to support investment and job creation in the region. Jens Olsen, Executive Manager for Northern Europe, stated, “Europe’s strategic importance to us means we are accelerating our plans, committing to further investment and growth.”
