UBTECH said YONDA (永达汽车) will buy 400 U1 Pro humanoid robots under a strategic cooperation agreement, with delivery planned before the end of 2026. The Paper reports this is UBTECH's first disclosed large order for its hyper-bionic humanoid robots.

The Paper reports a unit price of CNY 169,800 and estimates the 400-unit total at about CNY 67.92 million. That total is an estimate based on the listed unit price, not a disclosed contract value.

The agreement covers consumer-side product experience, sales promotion and customer service, as well as research and solution design for automotive retail. Sales and rentals are among the models the companies plan to explore, and a Shanghai experience center for UBTECH's robot range is also planned.
