Autonomous driving company WeRide is expanding into Denmark through a tie-up with GreenMobility, marking its entry into the Nordic region with plans to roll out Level 4 self-driving shared mobility services.
Under the arrangement, WeRide will supply its autonomous vehicle technology while GreenMobility contributes its fleet operations and experience in shared mobility in Denmark.
The two companies describe the initiative as the first commercial push into autonomous mobility within Denmark.
WeRide founder and CEO Tony Han said: “This partnership marks WeRide's first entry into the Nordic region and another important milestone in our European expansion. By combining WeRide's autonomous driving technology with GreenMobility's local operating capabilities, we are establishing a scalable model for deploying autonomous mobility in new international markets.”
The companies aim to launch public service in the first half of 2027, using WeRide’s GXR vehicle, the company’s newest EU-compliant self-driving model.
Denmark becomes WeRide's sixth market in Europe, following moves into Spain and Slovakia earlier this year.
The company entered Slovakia in March via a partnership with ELEVATE Slovakia, and separately teamed up with Uber Technologies in June to launch what was billed as Spain's first commercial robotaxi trial, operating in the Madrid region.
WeRide and GreenMobility pointed to Denmark's digital infrastructure, high rate of electric vehicle uptake, and regulatory framework as reasons behind the decision to deploy there.
The partnership remains contingent on regulatory clearance.
GreenMobility group CEO Kasper Gjedsted added: “We are proud to team up with a world-class partner like WeRide, whose technology is among the most advanced in the industry, as we together plan to bring autonomous shared vehicles to Denmark.”
Separately, WeRide has also progressed its autonomous ride-hailing service Ai.R, operated jointly with Grab, into full public operation in Punggol as of April.
The move followed a period described as extended community engagement ahead of the public launch.
GreenMobility is said to operate a fleet exceeding 1,500 electric vehicles in Nordic region’s free-floating car-sharing network.
