TrueEV, the official Australian Xpeng distributor, recently hosted the brand’s official launch and the opening of its Sydney flagship experience centre.
This showroom in Sydney’s Domestic Airport precinct marks the brand’s expansion into the Australian market.
The event, officiated by Elise Elliott, began with a ribbon-cutting and plaque ceremony led by TrueEV chief executive Jason Clarke, Xpeng vice president James Wu, and Alex Tang, head of international business.
Clarke shared an update on Xpeng’s expansion plans in Australia, including news that it confirmed dealer partnerships with Autopact, Australia’s second-largest dealer group headquartered in Queensland, and Jackson Motor Group, located in Tasmania.
Xpeng will open three additional experience centres by the end of 2024, including locations in Wollongong (New South Wales), Port Melbourne (Victoria), and North Coburg (Victoria).
These showrooms are part of TrueEV’s broader plan to expand the brand’s footprint across Australia. Twenty locations are slated to open by the end of 2025.
“We are incredibly excited about the future for Xpeng in Australia,” TrueEV chief executive Jason Clarke says.
“As we officially open our Sydney flagship experience centre, we are delighted to announce new partnerships across Australia, including Autopact, Australia’s second-largest dealer group headquartered in Queensland, and Jackson Motor Group, located in Tasmania.
“These partnerships, alongside our own Xpeng experience centres, continue to bolster our commitment to the Australian market in breaking down the barriers of EV ownership and accelerating the transition to clean and eco-friendly transportation.
“Together, we are not just selling cars; we are creating a future where sustainability and cutting-edge technology go hand in hand, empowering more Australians to switch to cleaner, greener driving,” he says.
The launch event also revealed the Xpeng G6, recently awarded with an ANCAP five-star safety rating.
The G6 is now on Australian roads, and the first customers have taken delivery of their vehicles in recent weeks.
