WeRide and Uber announced on Tuesday the launch of Spain’s first commercial robotaxi pilot in the Region of Madrid — a move that also represents their first joint European market entry. Moove Cars Group’s AVOMO will handle fleet operations for the pilot. The company already manages autonomous vehicle fleets for Uber in the United States and has a presence in four European countries, including Spain. Rides will be available through the Uber app, with public operations expected to begin later this year. Madrid’s regional government, the Comunidad de Madrid, is collaborating on the launch. Vehicle Operators The fleet will initially include trained vehicle operators inside the cars. WeRide, AVOMO, and Uber stated they are committed to adding hundreds of robotaxis as key performance milestones are met, including the expansion of fully driverless commercial service across core urban areas of the city. The vehicles to be deployed are WeRide‘s Robotaxi GXR, the company’s latest-generation autonomous vehicle. WeRide‘s GXR features an L4-level redundant drive-by-wire chassis architecture and a hidden B-pillar design. The model is already operating in fully driverless commercial service in Beijing and across WeRide‘s Middle East fleet. Fourth City Under 15-City Agreement The rollout follows WeRide‘s asset-light operating strategy, under which local partners contribute fleet investment and platform support while WeRide provides the autonomous driving technology. In Madrid, AVOMO will handle fleet operations — the same role it plays for Uber‘s autonomous vehicle programs in Austin and Atlanta, where it currently manages around 400 vehicles with a team of more than 200 specialists. Madrid is the fourth city activated under WeRide and Uber‘s broader agreement to deploy robotaxis in 15 cities by 2030 and the fifth European market entry for the Chinese company. The company has previously received autonomous driving permits in France, Switzerland, and Belgium, and has deployed vehicles
