Grab, the Singapore-based superapp, plans to explore pilot programs for autonomous vehicles and delivery robots in Vietnam, said Chin Yin Ong, Chief Organization Capability Officer at Grab.

The executive made the statement at a meeting with Vietnam’s General Secretary and President To Lam on Sunday, during the latter’s state visit to the Philippines, according to the Vietnam News Agency and Ong’s personal LinkedIn post.

Ong also pledged continued long-term investment in Vietnam and Grab’s activities in Vietnam, including digital transformation, sustainable growth, and smart mobility.

On sustainability, Grab is accelerating the transition to electric vehicles and has proposed investing in a nationwide network of 6,000 shared charging points by 2027. On smart mobility, Grab is working to integrate public transport with its app to promote multimodal connectivity.

Grab strives to support multimodal transport connectivity, urban public transport, and green vehicle infrastructure, and to promote Vietnam’s prestige across the region, she emphasized.

For his part, General Secretary and President To Lam encouraged Grab to advance research and investment in smart city development and autonomous vehicles, and to invest in green and intelligent public transport systems and the promotion of Vietnamese tourism and cuisine on the Grab platform.
