WeRide · Singapore

In December 2023, Robobus obtained Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) T1 and M1 autonomous vehicle licences, enabling testing on public roads such as one-north and the National University of Singapore (NUS); in November 2024, the Robosweeper S6/S1 sanitation vehicles were licensed and, within a week, launched Singapore's first commercial autonomous sanitation projects on Marina Coastal Drive and at the Esplanade; it subsequently operated Southeast Asia's first fully driverless Robobus at Resorts World Sentosa, and partnered with Grab to deploy the GXR and Robobus within Grab's Ai.R autonomous driving service; WeRide is an international member — alongside Waymo — of Singapore's Autonomous Vehicle Steering Committee.

Localisation adaptation plus scenario innovation: completed local regulatory certification and obtained licences within three months; pioneered the commercialisation in Singapore of scenarios such as autonomous sanitation vehicles and driverless buses at tourist attractions

Sources & notes

Record note: The sanitation operator has been verified as Chye Thiam Maintenance (CTM); Grab Ai.R announced the deployment of the GXR and Robobus on 22 September 2025, subsequently launching Singapore's first autonomous public feeder service in Punggol; the M1/T1 licences were obtained on 11 December 2023 (GlobeNewswire); WeRide was inducted into Singapore's Autonomous Vehicle Steering Committee on 12 August 2025 (the only two international members alongside Waymo). 2026-09-13 全库回扫复核（通过）：回扫判定：来源自证（SELF_ATTESTED_ONLY）。记录原引 5 条 URL 全部落在 weride.ai 与 ir.weride.ai，同属 WeRide 一家企业，事实源头仅 1 个；其中 2025-09-22 的 Grab Ai.R 稿原文为「will be deploying」，只支撑已宣布而非已落地。处置：部署档位维持 Landed——新核实的新加坡陆路交通管理局（LTA）在册页面正面记载 Chye Thiam Maintenance 已部署 WeRide S1/S6 环卫车、RWS 已部署 Robobus，不得改为 Announced-concrete；可靠性维持 High。本次改动：把该 LTA 页面收入来源集并作为落地第一独立证据（须用长路径）；主来源改为 2024-11-20 的 IR 稿并标注其 live URL 现 403、需走 Wayback 快照；删除 notes_text 中 Punggol 接驳服务已开通一句；Grab 段改写为「宣布将部署」；n_sources 6→5；补 partner local_private。该 LTA 页全文不含 commercial 与 fully driverless，仍将 RWS Robobus 记为 pilot service，环卫车起始记为 since October 2024，与「发牌一周内启动」冲突。High 成立以上述补引与措辞收窄全部落实为前提；若仍原样保留超级词与「within a week」，则必须降为 Medium。
