Quick Takeaways
- Two major mobility players are deploying a large-scale EV fleet across Southeast Asia to accelerate clean, connected urban transport.
- Deep digital integration between vehicles and ride-hailing platforms will improve fleet efficiency, safety, and customer experience.
On January 8, GAC International announced a major step forward in regional electrification through the GAC International Grab EV Partnership, confirming a long-term collaboration with Southeast Asia’s leading super-app platform Grab. Under this initiative, both companies plan to roll out 20,000 high-performance electric vehicles across six Southeast Asian markets over the next two years to accelerate sustainable urban mobility.
The alliance brings together GAC’s advanced electric vehicle portfolio and Grab’s large-scale ride-hailing and mobility ecosystem, creating a platform designed to scale green transport rapidly while improving daily operations for drivers and passengers.
How the GAC International Grab EV Partnership Works
The GAC International Grab EV Partnership is built around deep digital and operational integration between vehicles and mobility services. By connecting Grab’s driver ecosystem directly with GAC’s smart vehicle platforms, the partners aim to create a seamless and safer driving environment.
Key focus areas include:
This system-level connectivity is expected to reduce downtime, increase productivity for drivers, and improve the overall customer experience across the region.
GAC EV Models Introduced Through the GAC International Grab EV Partnership
The first phase of the GAC International Grab EV Partnership will introduce three proven GAC Aion electric models tailored for Southeast Asia’s mobility needs:
These models will serve as the foundation for Grab’s expanding electric mobility fleet in key Southeast Asian cities.
Expanding Beyond Vehicles Into Charging and After-Sales Networks
Beyond vehicle deployment, the GAC International Grab EV Partnership will extend into multiple layers of the EV ecosystem to support long-term scalability and reliability.
Collaboration areas include:
This end-to-end approach ensures that both drivers and passengers benefit from a stable, efficient, and well-supported electric mobility platform.
As the partnership evolves, GAC and Grab aim to build one of Southeast Asia’s most integrated electric mobility ecosystems, reinforcing the region’s shift toward cleaner transportation while setting a new benchmark for connected EV fleet operations.
