Jointly developed model focuses on efficient adaptation and international deployment
SINGAPORE, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BYD and autonomous driving technology company MOGOX (trading as Zhidao Network Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing) jointly unveiled an 8.5-metre right-hand-drive Level 4 autonomous B90 electric bus at Singapore Urban Mobility Week (SUMW 2026), marking the model's global debut.
Built on BYD's electric bus platform and equipped with MOGOX's proprietary MOGO AutoPilot system, the vehicle is designed for international markets. Its defining feature is efficient adaptation: meeting different traffic rules, road conditions and operating requirements while reducing repetitive development.
BYD × MOGOX: Designed for Global Deployment
BYD contributes electric bus engineering and manufacturing capabilities, while MOGOX brings autonomous driving software, system integration and operational experience. Integrating hardware and software during manufacturing helps improve compatibility and supports scalable production and deployment.
Efficient Adaptation: From Vehicle Design to Operations
The bus features a low-floor layout and ultra-short rear overhang for better manoeuvrability on narrow urban roads and easier boarding for elderly passengers and people with reduced mobility.
Combining cameras with solid-state LiDAR, MOGO AutoPilot has been localised for left-hand traffic and right-hand-drive markets, including Singapore. It is designed to navigate mixed traffic, intersections and approaches to bus stops.
MOGOX has also optimised driving models, sensor layouts and hardware for long-duration operations. Its modular architecture covers seven adaptation areas: regulations, applications, vehicle platforms, autonomous driving configurations, operating conditions, fleet management and local service networks. These reusable capabilities are intended to shorten deployment cycles.
Singapore: A Gateway to International Markets
Singapore is a key starting point for MOGOX's overseas expansion. The company secured a contract for Singapore's first official Level 4 autonomous bus project and passed the Land Transport Authority's Milestone 1 (M1) test. It has also partnered with ComfortDelGro Bus on autonomous mobility initiatives and local workforce training.
Beyond Singapore, MOGOX is cooperating with Sales-Lentz Group and Clément Bayard in Luxembourg, and with LG Electronics and BYDA in South Korea. In China, its MOGOBUS vehicles have been deployed in more than 20 cities across transit, tourism and shuttle applications.
Through its collaboration with BYD, MOGOX aims to turn proven autonomous driving capabilities into adaptable, factory-integrated products that can move more efficiently from local testing towards practical public transport deployment worldwide.

MANAMA, Bahrain, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth edition of Gateway Gulf, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), concluded with USD 22.3 billion in announcements, partnerships and deals. More than 110 announcements were made over two days across a diverse range of sectors, including financial services, technology, logistics, manufacturing, tourism, aviation, energy and water, healthcare, education, and other high-growth sectors.
From the main Plenary Stage to the Manama Circle signing stage, Gateway Gulf 2026 was marked by a steady flow of landmark deals, strategic partnerships, and major investment announcements, reflecting the depth and diversity of opportunity across the Kingdom of Bahrain and the wider region. The momentum reinforced Bahrain's position as a trusted destination for global capital and a strategic platform for businesses seeking to access opportunities across the Gulf and high-growth markets worldwide.
Over 75 agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were signed over the two days of the event, underscoring its focus on turning dialogue into action and highlighting the breadth of partnerships advanced through Gateway Gulf 2026. Four large-scale projects, with a cumulative value of USD 3.89 billion, were awarded Bahrain's Golden License. These projects reinforce the island nation's standing as a strategic regional hub and its ability to attract high-value investments that consistently advance connectivity, innovation, and economic diversification.
Bahrain's position as a gateway to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is supported by its highly connected, business-friendly ecosystem and diversified economy, with non-oil sectors contributing around 86% to GDP. These strengths position the Kingdom as a compelling base for businesses and investors seeking to scale and pursue long-term opportunities across the region. With a combined economy exceeding USD 2.38 trillion, the GCC is a hub for capital, talent and innovation, with sustained investment in infrastructure, regional integration and economic diversification continuing to underpin its resilience.
Held at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay on 1–2 November under the theme "Reimagining Global Partnerships, Powering Sustainable Growth", the flagship investment forum brought together ministers, investors and global C-suite executives to forge new partnerships, mobilise cross-border capital and advance investment across high-growth sectors. The fourth edition reinforced Bahrain's role as a platform for regional and international partnership, translating its competitive strengths into tangible investment, stronger trade links, and opportunities for sustainable growth. With a clear focus on converting dialogue into action and opportunity into investment, Gateway Gulf continues to deliver partnerships with lasting economic impact for Bahrain, the region, and markets beyond.
