In Singapore and Thailand, users will be able to opt for green vehicles at no additional charge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driver-partners will have the option to rent BYD EVs or finance them through Grab\u2019s car ownership scheme, with additional benefits such as extended warranties for high-voltage batteries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joining the fleet is the Denza D9, a premium seven-seater electric MPV that is set to elevate Grab\u2019s high-end ride-hailing services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beyond expanding their EV fleet, Grab is integrating their technology to enhance the driver and passenger experience and ensure safety on the road.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BYD vehicles will come equipped with Grab\u2019s driver app integrated into the car\u2019s head unit, allowing drivers to receive job notifications, navigate, and communicate seamlessly without switching between devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time telemetry data from BYD vehicles will feed directly into Grab\u2019s platform. This will provide valuable insights into driving patterns, traffic conditions, and external factors such as weather. Such data can help Grab direct drivers to high-demand areas, improving efficiency during peak hours and leading to more accurate estimated arrival times (ETAs) for passengers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read the full story on <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4hjsAbf\">The Business Times<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full charge ahead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5614,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[322],"tags":[143],"class_list":["post-5613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","tag-grab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Daily Markup #1159: Grab and BYD team up to introduce up to 50,000 EVs across SEA, bringing green transportation to more driver-partners &amp;
