SINGAPORE (Mar 21): ST Engineering has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BYD to include the Chinese automobile manufacturer’s electric buses in its Land Systems arm’s portfolio of autonomous bus platforms.
This comes as part of ST Engineering’s plans to form a consortium, in response to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB)’s call for collaboration (CFC) for a pilot deployment of autonomous buses in Punggol, Tengah and the Jurong Innovation District.
In its announcement on Wednesday, the group says it intends to integrate its autonomous vehicle (AV) kit onto BYD’s buses.
