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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
