Momenta Partners Grab to Expand Autonomous Driving in Southeast Asia

By Jiahui Huang

Chinese autonomous-driving technology company Momenta is partnering ride-hailing platform Grab to expand its robotaxi services into Southeast Asia.

The companies said Thursday they are collaborating to bring autonomous driving technology to Southeast Asia. Momenta is rapidly developing its robotaxi technology and is moving toward a commercial launch of its robotaxi fleet, the statement said.

The move comes after Momenta recently announced its partnership with Mercedes-Benz Group to offer luxury robotaxi services in Abu Dhabi.

Momenta, which sells its autonomous driving assistance solutions to automakers, is also joining the growing competition in China's robotaxi landscape. The company said earlier this year that it will collaborate with Uber in Munich on a driverless robotaxi project, with testing expected to start in 2026.

Chinese robotaxi companies are entering a stage of large-scale commercialization with ongoing efforts to expand overseas, especially in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

WeRide and Pony AI already have autonomous-driving shuttles for test operations in certain areas of Singapore. Baidu also told The Wall Street Journal that it would enter Singapore and Malaysia markets by the end of this year.

Grab's plans include rolling out 11 self-driving shuttles developed by Chinese robotaxi company WeRide in Singapore by early 2026. It has also partnered U.S.-based May Mobility to launch autonomous vehicle services in Southeast Asia.
