WeRide Inc. Expands Global Footprint While Preparing to Report Q3 2025 Results
WeRide Inc., a Hong Kong‑listed investment holding company headquartered in Guangzhou, has announced several milestones that underscore its trajectory as a leading provider of autonomous driving technology across mobility, logistics, and sanitation sectors.
First Autonomous Vehicle Testing in Singapore
On 13 November 2025, the company and Grab, Southeast Asia’s foremost superapp, secured approval from Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) to conduct the first autonomous vehicle (AV) testing program in the Punggol district. The collaboration, highlighted by both a Wall Street Online and a GlobeNewswire release, demonstrates WeRide’s growing influence in the region’s rapidly evolving smart‑mobility ecosystem. The LTA’s permission enables the company to deploy its robotaxi, robobus, robovan and robosweeper platforms in a controlled urban environment, providing critical data for further refinement of its autonomous systems and a potential gateway to broader commercial operations in Singapore.
Commercial Deployment in Abu Dhabi
Earlier in the month, WeRide obtained a city‑level Level 4 (L4) driverless commercial operation licence from the United Arab Emirates federal government, marking the first such approval outside the United States. The licence, announced by technode.com and the South China Morning Post, authorises the company to operate its robotaxi fleet across Abu Dhabi’s public roads without a human safety driver. This achievement positions WeRide among the pioneers of autonomous ride‑hailing services in the Middle East and expands its market presence into a region that is aggressively adopting electric and autonomous transportation solutions.
Upcoming Third‑Quarter Financial Results
In a separate announcement on 12 November 2025, WeRide disclosed its intention to release the third‑quarter 2025 financial results on 24 November 2025, before the U.S. market opens. The disclosure, reported by Benzinga and GlobeNewswire, signals the company’s readiness to provide investors with a comprehensive view of its financial performance, operational metrics, and strategic developments. While the full results have not yet been issued, stakeholders can anticipate detailed commentary on revenue growth, capital expenditures, and the impact of recent regulatory approvals in Singapore and Abu Dhabi.
Market Context
WeRide’s share price, recorded at 21.20 HKD on 11 November 2025, sits below the 52‑week low of 20.00 HKD but remains within a narrow range around the 52‑week high of 24.98 HKD. With a market capitalization of approximately 21.76 billion HKD, the company commands a significant footprint in the autonomous vehicle industry, supported by its diversified product portfolio that includes advanced driver‑assist systems and the WeRide Go ride‑hailing app.
Looking Forward
The combination of regulatory milestones in Singapore and Abu Dhabi, coupled with the imminent release of Q3 financial results, positions WeRide at a pivotal juncture. The company’s expansion into new geographies, alongside its continued product innovation, suggests a sustained trajectory toward establishing a global autonomous mobility platform. Investors and industry observers will likely focus on the forthcoming quarterly data to assess the financial implications of these regulatory successes and the company’s path toward commercial scalability.
