ComfortDelGro receives licence to conduct public road trials for AV shuttles

This covers testing of five autonomous shuttles in Punggol in coming months.

ComfortDelGro received approval from the Land Transport Authority to begin public road trials of its autonomous-vehicle shuttles after the first batch of vehicles completed Milestone 1 (M1) assessments by the Centre of Testing & Research of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN), according to a press release.

Group CEO Cheng Siak Kian said the successful M1 assessment fulfilled the standards required for the next phase of autonomous-vehicle testing.

ComfortDelGro said it plans to make AV rides available in 2026 through its CDG Zig app under a “Zig Driverless” option.

The company will start trials of five seven-seater AV shuttles in the Punggol district.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
