XPeng and Vinturas partner on blockchain visibility tech for European expansion
Chinese EV firm XPeng has partnered with Vinturas to scale the OEM’s operations in Europe, using interoperable blockchain technology to increase visibility in its finished vehicle logistics.
XPeng’s car distribution network will be integrated with the carmaker’s value chain partners through Vinturas’ digital tool, which it said provides one source of shared supply-chain information to deliver enhanced visibility and data management.
The Guangzhou-headquartered OEM has been significantly expanding its presence in Europe since 2021, and since then has started to localise its EV production at Magna Steyr’s facility in Austria last year.
In 2025, the carmaker delivered 45,008 vehicles overseas, up 96% year-on-year, and expanded its global footprint to 60 countries and regions, with 26 of these in Europe.
The OEM’s head of logistics in Europe said that visibility of its finished vehicle movements is a key issue in its expansion in the region.
“XPeng is on a mission to become the world’s leading AI-driven mobility technology company, and as we accelerate our expansion across Europe, we need partners who can match our ambition,” said Sándor Gacsó, head of logistics, Europe at XPeng. “Some of our biggest challenges have been securing full visibility of our finished vehicles as they move through Europe and efficiently onboarding the many logistics partners involved. Vinturas can provide the secure digital backbone that enables us to meet these needs and scale quickly and efficiently as demand grows.”
According to the firms, Vinturas’ digital solution will enable the firm to coordinate complex cross-border logistics flows and anticipate and mitigate disruptions, leading to faster delivery times, real-time tracking and secure data exchange that can reduce manual processes and operational risk while volumes grow.
“XPeng’s European rollout requires a logistics network that can perform today while adapting to the realities of tomorrow,” said Ronald Kleijwegt, CEO of Vinturas. “Automotive OEMs are navigating rising costs, geopolitical disruption, and mounting pressure to keep vehicles moving to customers who are ordering more EVs than ever before.”
