Grab, Southeast Asia’s leading superapp, has committed to a strategic equity investment in WeRide, a global leader in autonomous driving technology. This investment is part of a broader strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the deployment and commercialization of Level 4 Robotaxis and autonomous shuttles across Southeast Asia. The collaboration reflects a shared vision to integrate WeRide’s autonomous vehicles (AVs) into Grab’s network, enhancing service and safety levels. Grab's investment is expected to be completed by the first half of 2026, supporting WeRide’s growth strategy to expand its commercial AV fleet in the region and advance AI-driven mobility. As part of this partnership, WeRide will integrate its autonomous driving technology into Grab’s fleet management, vehicle matching, and routing ecosystem. Both companies will also focus on training and upskilling Grab driver-partners and local communities for high-value career pathways within the AV industry, addressing potential manpower constraints in the region.
