Singapore-based multi-national transport group ComfortDelGro has obtained approval from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to begin public road trials of their AV shuttles.

This approval comes after the Group first batch of AVs successfully completed Milestone 1 trials by the Center of Testing & Research of Autonomous Vehicles (CETRAN), ComfortDelGro said in a statement on Thursday.

“Completing the CETRAN Milestone 1 batch assessment successfully highlights our dedication to innovation, safety, and operational excellence,

“This achievement meets the stringent standards for autonomous vehicle systems, enabling us to responsibly introduce intelligent transport systems in Singapore,” said Cheng Siak Kian, its Group Chief Executive Officer.

According to the statement, ComfortDelGro will soon commence trials of five five-seater AV shuttles in the Punggol district.

Looking ahead, ComfortDelGro plans to make such rides available in 2026 through its ComfortDelGro Zig app.
