FairPrice Group (FPG) has partnered with beverages company Pokka to pilot Singapore's first autonomous vehicle (AV) route between a retailer and supplier, they announced on Thursday (April 2).The 6km round-trip route plies between FairPrice Group's distribution centre and Pokka's warehouse in Benoi, within the Jurong Industrial Estate.FairPrice said it is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen supply chain operations, which will in turn allow customers to peruse more efficiently and consistently stocked shelves in supermarkets.FPG already uses these driverless vehicles to transport goods between distribution centres, with over 100 trips made each week.Up to 1.5 tonnes of ambient produce, packaged products and other essentials are transported each trip, it added.FairPrice received approval from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to fully remotely operate AVs on public roads in October last year.It began trials for the route on Feb 25, 2026, and will transition to sole reliance on AVs for transportation along the route once it is approved for fully remote operations by the LTA.
