Waymo adding electric Geely vans to its robotaxi fleet alanohnsman
Waymo, Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous driving unit, is expanding its global auto partnerships to include China’s Geely Automotive and plans to integrate the carmaker’s purpose-built electric robotaxi vans into its U.S. fleet.
The vans from Geely’s new Zeekr brand were designed in Sweden and are to join the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans and electric Jaguar i-Pace SUVs already used in Waymo One ridehail programs in suburban Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay region. The Mountain View, California-based company isn’t saying how many of the battery-powered models it’s adding and when they go into service–though it may not be soon.
“We’ll begin to introduce these all electric, rider-first, fully autonomous vehicles on U.S. roads within our Waymo One fleet in the years to come,” Waymo said. The vehicles are designed for use in autonomous ride services, featuring flat floors and wider-than-usual door openings for easy entry and exit by passengers.
Geely is the latest automotive partner for Waymo, which already works with Fiat Chrysler and Jaguar and is developing. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, founded by billionaire Li Shufu, is the parent of Geely Auto and among China’s largest carmakers. It launched the Zeekr brand in 2021 to compete with Tesla in China and also owns Volvo Car Group.
