ComfortDelGro To Train And Develop Next Generation Of Transport Professionals

  • ComfortDelGro starts training initiative in Singapore to provide professional drivers with a pathway into the growing autonomous vehicle industry.
  • Plans to broaden training and capabilities development to build skills for new roles vital to AV operations.

SINGAPORE, 16 July 2025 — ComfortDelGro Corporation Limited (“ComfortDelGro” or “the Group”) has started
its training and capabilities development initiatives, designed to upskill existing drivers and prepare the next
generation of transport professionals for the future of mobility.

ComfortDelGro’s training and development initiatives reflect its commitment to a responsible and inclusive
evolution of the transport industry as it embraces autonomous vehicle (AV) technology. The company aims
to ensure that its current drivers remain relevant to the evolving transport landscape while creating new,
attractive roles for the next generation of transport professionals.

Its first initiative launched in Singapore focuses on training safety operators for AVs developed by
ComfortDelGro’s partner Moovita, which operates a fleet of autonomous shuttles in several locations across
Singapore. The Group has also started remote operator and fleet management training as part of its AV pilot
in China.

Mr Cheng Siak Kian, Managing Director / Group CEO of ComfortDelGro, said: “AV-related training and
development are key to building new capabilities and creating new roles for the next generation of mobility
solutions. It underscores our commitment to our employees and drivers who are interested in new
opportunities in the growing autonomous vehicle sector as well as developing new talent so that the workforce
remains at the forefront of the industry’s transformation.”

Looking ahead, ComfortDelGro plans to broaden its training and development initiatives to include crosstraining
programmes that will enable safety operators to work with different types of AV technologies. It will
also develop other vital roles unique to AV operations, such as remote operators, maintenance specialists,
data analysts and fleet management positions. This flexibility will enhance career opportunities for
participants while supporting the Group’s broader autonomous vehicle initiatives.
