Quick Takeaways
- Autonomous logistics pilots in Singapore are transitioning from trials toward scalable deployment through a major logistics–technology partnership.
- The initiative demonstrates real-world efficiency gains while aligning closely with Singapore’s long-term autonomous mobility and regulatory roadmap.
On December 25, 2025, autonomous logistics pilots in Singapore moved closer to large-scale deployment as Zelostech confirmed a strategic memorandum of understanding with Singapore Post, signed earlier on December 2. The agreement lays the foundation for multi-scenario autonomous logistics trials scheduled to begin by the end of 2025, strengthening Zelostech’s expansion strategy across Southeast Asia.
The collaboration focuses on introducing unmanned logistics vehicles across both public-road environments and controlled operational facilities. By combining autonomous driving technology with established logistics infrastructure, the initiative aims to validate real-world use cases while supporting Singapore’s broader intelligent mobility objectives.
Scope of the Autonomous Logistics Pilots in Singapore
The planned pilots span multiple logistics scenarios designed to reflect real operating conditions and regulatory requirements. These trials will progress in phases to ensure safety, compliance, and scalability.
Key pilot scenarios include:
Together, these applications are expected to demonstrate how autonomous logistics can improve reliability across the supply chain while reducing manual handling and operational bottlenecks.
Operational Impact and Deployment Progress
Following the signing of the agreement, Singapore Post initiated the deployment of autonomous vehicles within its logistics hubs. Early operations have already delivered measurable improvements in peak-period efficiency while lowering overall operating costs. These gains are particularly relevant for high-volume e-commerce workflows, where speed and consistency are critical.
Based on performance outcomes from the initial phase, the partners plan to gradually expand deployments, with island-wide scaling targeted over the next three to five years. This phased approach allows for continuous optimization as regulatory frameworks and infrastructure readiness evolve.
Zelostech’s Expanding Autonomous Footprint in Singapore
The partnership further strengthens Zelostech’s established presence in Singapore’s autonomous mobility ecosystem. Previous local deployments with major retail and logistics operators have already validated the company’s technology under real-world conditions.
To date, autonomous trials in Singapore have successfully transported thousands of pallets without safety incidents or manual takeovers. Beyond commercial operations, Zelostech is also actively contributing to national autonomous vehicle standardization efforts, supporting the development of regulatory and technical frameworks that enable safe, scalable adoption.
As autonomous logistics pilots in Singapore continue to progress, the collaboration between technology providers and logistics operators is expected to play a pivotal role in reshaping urban freight movement and supply chain efficiency across the region.

Scope of the Autonomous Logistics Pilots in Singapore
The planned pilots span multiple logistics scenarios designed to reflect real operating conditions and regulatory requirements. These trials will progress in phases to ensure safety, compliance, and scalability.
Key pilot scenarios include:
- Middle-mile transportation, subject to regulatory clearance from Singapore’s transport authorities
- Autonomous logistics hub operations within e-commerce fulfillment and sorting centers
- Last-mile delivery services using specially designed vehicles equipped with secure locker systems
Together, these applications are expected to demonstrate how autonomous logistics can improve reliability across the supply chain while reducing manual handling and operational bottlenecks.
