XPENG commissions 80%-automated humanoid line

XPENG commissioned its IRON humanoid-robot production line with more than 80% of core processes automated, the company said on Sept. 8. XPENG’s announcement says mass production is scheduled by year-end and commercial deliveries for 2027. The move takes physical AI from demo theater to factory process control; builders should watch yield and delivery cadence against XPENG’s $900M robotics financing.
