Grab, WeRide to deploy Robotaxis, shuttles in Southeast Asia

The companies aim to complete the deal by H1 2026.

Grab is taking an equity stake in Chinese autonomous vehicle company WeRide, with plans to complete the deal by the first half of 2026, pending closing conditions and WeRide’s schedule.

The investment is part of a partnership between both companies to accelerate the deployment and commercialisation of Level 4 Robotaxis and shuttles in Southeast Asia, building on a memorandum of understanding signed in March 2025.

WeRide will integrate its autonomous driving technology into Grab’s fleet management, vehicle matching, and routing ecosystem.

The collaboration will also involve training and reskilling programmes for Grab’s driver-partners and local workers to prepare for roles in the autonomous vehicles industry.

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.
