Gasgoo Munich- On November 11, UBTECH signed a strategic partnership agreement with Yongda Auto, a leading listed luxury car dealership group in China.

Targeting the consumer market, the two companies will use UBTECH's ultra-bionic humanoid robot U1 series as an entry point. Yongda has purchased an initial batch of 400 U1 Pro units to collaborate on product experiences, sales promotion, and customer service. The goal is to establish a replicable sales and service model for bionic humanoid robots in the consumer sector. UBTECH plans to complete delivery within the year.
For industry clients, the collaboration will focus on automotive retail and service scenarios. The two sides will work on demand research, solution design, and product sales and leasing. They also plan to jointly advance the secondary development of embodied intelligence applications, optimize solutions, and drive project implementation to build replicable industry solutions.
Beyond that, the companies plan to build a UBTECH full-series robot experience and display center in Shanghai. This hub is designed to serve as an operational window integrating product displays, interactive experiences, customer engagement, sales promotion, and demonstrations of commercial applications.
Leveraging Yongda's network and team resources in East China, the partners will select suitable cities and outlets to explore models such as shop-in-shop concepts and joint exhibition experiences. They will also roll out experience activities featuring robotics and AI education products, while continuously improving delivery, operations, maintenance, and after-sales capabilities to expand their sales and service network.
Notably, apart from Yongda, UBTECH recently signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with China Telecom Terminals. Over the next three years, the two aim to drive the industry scale of home companion robot terminals past 1 million units, and push the scale of ultra-bionic humanoid robots and wheeled humanoid robots beyond 100,000 units.
