At a media briefing on April 2, He Xiaopeng addressed the name change for the first time, explaining that the past decade centered on smart electric vehicles, but the coming ten years will usher in a new phase defined by the convergence of new energy and intelligent agents. He stated that the term "Motors" no longer encompasses the company's full scope of operations; thus, while retaining the "XPeng" brand, the word "Motors" has been dropped.
