Wuling New Binguoev Lite

GrabRentals has added Wuling New BinguoEV Lite to its fleet in Indonesia, signaling a broader push by Wuling Motors and Grab Indonesia to expand electric vehicle use in daily transport services.The move gives partner drivers a more affordable path into electric mobility through a rental scheme, instead of requiring them to buy a vehicle outright. That makes the model especially relevant for app-based transport operations, where efficiency and ease of use matter every day.Rental access is the key shiftThrough GrabRentals, drivers who do not yet own a personal vehicle can access an EV without facing the upfront cost of purchase. The arrangement is designed to make electric cars more practical for partners who want to join or expand their work in ride-hailing services.GrabRentals Indonesia Director Halim Wijaya said the arrival of Wuling strengthens the electric vehicle options available to support fleet expansion. He added that the partnership is an important step toward widening EV use among driver partners.The rental format is also intended to be more accessible than direct ownership. Grab expects that approach to help more drivers use electric cars in their daily work.Grab has set an ambitious target for its electric fleet as well. The company aims to triple the number of EVs in its operations by the end of 2026.More than 14,000 electric vehicles are already operating across Grab Indonesia’s ecosystem, including vehicles used through GrabRentals.Why Wuling New BinguoEV Lite fits the jobFor this collaboration, GrabRentals selected the Wuling New BinguoEV Lite as an operational vehicle. Wuling says the hatchback-style EV suits daily mobility needs thanks to its combination of distinctive design, comfort, and simple operation.The model is positioned for intensive use in app-based transport services, where drivers need a vehicle that is easy to manage and efficient to run. It also comes with smartphone interconnection, which adds convenience for users working in connected, mobile-first environments.On the technical side, the Wuling New BinguoEV Lite uses a 31.9 kWh LFP battery and is rated for up to 333 kilometers under CLTC standards.The car also supports fast charging, with Wuling stating that charging from 30 percent to 80 percent takes around 35 minutes. That combination of range and charging speed is meant to support the demands of a busy fleet.Support goes beyond handing over the carsThe collaboration does not stop at vehicle delivery. Wuling will also provide after-sales service and technical support for the fleet used by GrabRentals.That backing matters because the vehicles will face frequent, high-intensity use in the field. Reliable technical readiness is essential to keep the fleet operating smoothly.Wuling also plans to run training programs for drivers and mechanics. The company says the training is meant to help electric vehicle operations run more effectively and to strengthen the ecosystem around the cars.President Director of Wuling Motors, Tang Wensheng, said the handover ceremony marks the beginning of a closer collaboration between the two companies. He described the partnership as more than a commercial transaction.According to Tang, the cooperation reflects a shared vision and a long-term commitment to developing electric mobility in Indonesia. Wuling also hopes the partnership will deliver an innovative mobility solution that benefits the company, partner drivers, and the wider public using app-based transport services.With the addition of Wuling BinguoEV Lite to GrabRentals, the two companies are pushing a practical model for wider EV adoption.
