Grab, Southeast Asia's superapp, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with GAC, a global pioneer in smart electric mobility, to roll out an initial fleet of 20,000 high-performance electric vehicles (EVs) across the region. The collaboration not only expands the diversity and scale of Grab's EV fleets but also emphasizes system integration to enhance the in-vehicle experience for driver-partners. Both companies are also exploring ways to strengthen after-sales support for Grab's operations.
As part of the partnership, GAC will introduce three of its flagship models—AionY, AionES, and Aion V—into Grab's fleets in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. These vehicles are designed with features tailored to the demands of professional ride-hailing, including 90-degree door openings and generous rear legroom, ensuring greater comfort for both drivers and passengers.
A key highlight of the collaboration is the integration of the Grab driver app into GAC's intelligent cockpit system. This innovation enables driver-partners to access navigation, demand guidance, and safety alerts directly on GAC's large, easy-to-read cockpit display. By reducing the need to switch between devices, drivers can accept trips more seamlessly, minimize eye strain, and maintain better focus on road safety.
