Pony.ai Europe, the European division of global autonomous driving leader Pony.ai (NASDAQ: PONY), has obtained a scientific testing permit for Level 4 autonomous driving from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Mobility and Public Works. This authorization expands Pony.ai’s global testing portfolio, building on existing permits in China, the United States, and South Korea.
This milestone follows the company’s establishment of Luxembourg as a European hub for research, development, and deployment. The initiative aims to accelerate autonomous driving innovation and integrate self-driving technologies into the country’s next-generation transportation network.
Luxembourg’s Minister for Mobility and Public Works Yuriko Backes said:
“The issuance of the testing permit marks an important milestone for the future of mobility. Autonomous driving is a major innovation that can transform our daily lives. The government is pleased to support companies like Pony.ai in their quest for new technologies and is committed to supporting initiatives that aim to make mobility safer and more efficient.”
Under the newly granted permit, Pony.ai will commence on-road testing in collaboration with Emile Weber, Luxembourg’s premier mobility solutions provider. The collaboration leverages Emile Weber’s expertise in delivering integrated mobility solutions across public transit, private transportation, and tourism sectors.
Dr. James Peng, Co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai, commented:
“Pony.ai is honored to be among the first companies awarded a permit for autonomous vehicle testing in Luxembourg. Establishing our European hub in Luxembourg reinforces our commitment to making it the leading destination for autonomous mobility in Europe. This commitment is further strengthened through our partnership with Emile Weber, one of the region’s most respected transportation providers.”
