Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

XPeng is seeking new markets to offset slowing demand in the Chinese electric vehicle market. The company aims to increase its proportion of car sales overseas to 50 per cent within five years, up from 20 per cent. Despite remaining loss-making, the company is spending heavily on research and sales expansion in Europe.
