Xpeng Inc's stock rose by 6.45% and reached a 5-day high, reflecting positive market conditions.
This increase is attributed to Xpeng's strategic partnership with EP Manufacturing Berhad to initiate localized production in Malacca, Malaysia, with mass production set to begin in 2026. This collaboration aims to enhance market responsiveness and strengthen Xpeng's competitive edge in the region.
The partnership not only aligns with the Malaysian government's vision for a green economy but also positions Xpeng to better cater to the needs of Malaysian and ASEAN consumers, potentially leading to significant growth in the electric vehicle market.
