BYD officially confirmed its humanoid robot will launch in August, with plans to deploy 2-3 units per dealership for customer service and product demonstration. Chinese automakers including Xpeng, Seres, Chery, and FAW are rapidly moving humanoid robots into commercial deployment, backed by government policy targets to achieve 100+ high-value application scenarios and ten-thousand-unit scale by end-2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Chinese automakers have cracked the move from prototype to retail deployment: humanoid robots in car showrooms are launching this month and hitting ten-thousand-unit scale by 2026. If you build components, sensors, or software for service robots, you now have a proven buyer with dealership distribution and capital to scale.
