Hello Robotaxi HR1 Mass Production Delivery Begins With Venucia VX6 Base Vehicle

Hello Robotaxi HR1 Mass Production Delivery And Industrial Cooperation

Hello Robotaxi HR1 Mass Production has officially started following the HR1 mass-production delivery and industrial cooperation signing ceremony held at the Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Huadu Plant in Guangzhou on July 24. The milestone represents the next phase of commercial autonomous mobility development, combining vehicle manufacturing capabilities with dedicated autonomous driving technologies. The HR1 Robotaxi uses the Venucia VX6 as its core base vehicle and is designed for operational deployment across multiple urban environments.

Venucia VX6 Platform Enables Dedicated Robotaxi Development

The Venucia VX6 provides the foundation for HR1 operations with 3.64 m³ of passenger cabin space and a 90% cabin space utilization rate. The vehicle supports 3C supercharging technology, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% state of charge in only 14 minutes. It offers a CLTC driving range of up to 510 km, energy consumption as low as 13.1 kWh per 100 km, and compatibility with 99% of public chargers, improving operational efficiency for autonomous mobility services.

Automotive Grade Engineering Supports Autonomous Driving Integration

Built on the Venucia VX6 architecture, the HR1 Robotaxi was developed through an automotive-grade forward engineering process. The vehicle integrates autonomous driving hardware and software deeply with the base vehicle architecture, while receiving dedicated optimization for real-world autonomous driving operations. This approach enables improved reliability, scalability, and suitability for commercial robotaxi services. Hello Inc continues to focus on advancing autonomous mobility solutions by combining vehicle platforms with intelligent driving technologies.

Global Robotaxi Deployment Strategy And Future Expansion

Looking ahead, Hello Robotaxi plans to continue expanding HR1 mass production, increase operational scenarios, and introduce the vehicle into international markets. The first batch of HR1 Robotaxis will begin regular commercial operations in major cities including Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Deployment is expected to expand to at least 10 cities between 2026 and 2027, supporting broader adoption of autonomous passenger mobility services. The initiative highlights the growing role of China in commercial autonomous driving development and robotaxi deployment.
