Zig by ComfortDelGro has announced an investment of over S$10m to enhance its private hire vehicle (PHV) fleet with new electric and hybrid models from BYD, supplied by Vantage Automotive. This move is part of Zig’s strategy to transform its point-to-point business from a traditional taxi-led operation into a hybrid fleet-and-platform model, offering more options to hirers and strengthening service availability on the Zig app.
The investment will see the introduction of fully electric and hybrid vehicles, including the BYD SEAL 6 DM-i and BYD M6, into Zig’s fleet. This aligns with the company’s ongoing efforts to renew and electrify its fleet, catering to the rising demand for PHVs among professional drivers. Zig’s private hire driver base grew by 28% in 2025, and the app currently supports over 4,000 drivers.
Hirers of the new vehicles will benefit from the wider ComfortDelGro ecosystem, which includes preferential charging rates through CDG Energy and maintenance support from ComfortDelGro Engineering’s network of workshops. Michael Huang, Head of Singapore Point-to-Point Mobility Business, stated, “This investment reflects our commitment to meeting hirer needs and supporting mobility demand across Singapore.”
Adelene Tan, Managing Director of Vantage Automotive, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, noting, “We look forward to working closely with Zig as it grows its private hire fleet and accelerates its electrification ambitions.”
The new vehicles will be gradually introduced into Zig’s fleet and made available to hirers in the coming months, marking a significant step in ComfortDelGro’s broader strategy to optimise its fleet mix and enhance its service offerings.
