GreenMobility and WeRide Plan Driverless Cars for Denmark by 2027

Danish car-sharing company GreenMobility has teamed up with WeRide. WeRide is a leading Chinese autonomous driving technology firm. Together, they plan to launch self-driving electric cars in Denmark. The service will feature Level-4 driverless vehicles. They aim to launch in the first half of 2027. The plan still needs approval from Danish national transport agencies.

• Partner companies: GreenMobility (Denmark) and WeRide (China).
• Target launch date: First half of 2027.
• Vehicle type: Level-4 driverless shared electric cars.
• Current status: Pending approval from Danish national transport agencies.
• Expected impact: New shared mobility options across Greater Copenhagen.

GreenMobility is already popular among Copenhagen residents and professionals. People currently use its app to rent electric cars by the minute. You can park these cars for free in designated city zones. Adding self-driving technology could change how people move around the capital. It may offer easier late-night travel when public transport is limited. It could also reduce the need to park vehicles yourself.

This partnership is a major tech collaboration between Denmark and China. For Chinese expats in Copenhagen, it brings familiar tech to local streets. WeRide is based in China and operates robotaxis globally. If approved, Copenhagen will join cities testing driverless car-sharing. The companies will test the cars before public launch. More details on service areas will come closer to 2027.
