WeRide’s WRD 3.0 Secures Sixth Straight Win, Lands 30+ Model Appointments
WRD•WeRide’s WRD 3.0–powered Chery Exeed Sterra ES achieved a record sixth straight win at the Tianjin round of China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition under full-journey evaluations, including P2P NOA scoring. WRD 3.0 has secured design appointments on more than 30 vehicle models from Chery and GAC for 2026 mass-production deployment.
1. Competition Victory Sets New Benchmark
At the Tianjin round of the Second China Urban Intelligent Driving Competition, WeRide’s WRD 3.0–equipped Chery Exeed Sterra ES claimed first place for the sixth consecutive time. The event’s upgraded scoring system added P2P NOA evaluation alongside automatic parking exit, gate passage, and complex public road navigation, and WRD 3.0 maintained flawless execution without any human takeover.
2. End-to-End Large Model Advantage
WRD 3.0 leverages a one-stage end-to-end large model that unifies decision-making across driving and parking scenarios. This contrasts with modular systems that split data processing and often yield inconsistent trajectories, allowing WRD 3.0 to deliver more precise low-speed parking maneuvers and stable performance in high-speed urban environments.
3. Commercial Rollout and Partnerships
In 2026, WRD 3.0 has secured mass-production design agreements for over 30 vehicle types from Chery Automobile and GAC Group. These appointments mark a pivotal shift toward large-scale deployment, positioning WeRide’s solution for integration across multiple OEMs and computing platforms.
4. Strategic Focus and Future Growth
WeRide plans to continue advancing WRD 3.0 technology with a focus on user-friendly and reliable advanced driving assistance. The company aims to expand its global footprint by enhancing system stability and securing additional partnerships for future vehicle models.
