Advancing land transport mobility innovation through Singapore
WHAT
Singapore operates one of the world’s most constrained and complex urban transport systems. Limited land space, high population density, and multi-modal road usage create continuous pressure on efficiency, safety, and emissions reduction. As such, land transport innovation is a national priority, anchored by three general strategies:
- Land Transport Master Plan 2040 – Improving system efficiency and inclusivity through accessible public transport, productive logistics, and a future-ready transport workforce
- Singapore Green Plan 2030 – Driving transport decarbonisation via electric vehicle adoption and nationwide charging infrastructure (target: 60,000 charging points by 2030)
- Smart Urban Mobility – Enabling next-generation operations through autonomous vehicles and AI-driven optimisation of traffic and public transport systems
HOW
Singapore offers a complete and highly regulated mobility ecosystem with a strong appetite for innovation and real-world deployment. Its role as a regional business hub is reinforced by the presence of global OEM and mobility leaders, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Scania, alongside world-class universities and a highly skilled talent pool.
Key advantages for Swedish companies include:
- Strong demand for sustainable mobility solutions, particularly in electrification, autonomous systems, AI-enabled operations, and green logistics.
- High openness to international collaboration, enabling foreign companies to participate in pilots, regulatory sandboxes, and co-development projects with government agencies, infrastructure owners, and major transport operators.
- Proven innovation testbeds, allowing Swedish solutions to be validated in dense, tropical urban conditions and scaled regionally across Asia and beyond.
