Finally it's confirmed

https://www.grab.com/my/comingtogether/
The Uber service will be available in Southeast Asia for two more weeks until 8 April 2018, as we onboard Uber drivers to the Grab platform. Uber riders can immediately download and use the Grab app to book rides for your travelling needs in Southeast Asia.


From http://www.bbc.com/news/business-43536322

The move marks a further retreat from international operations for Uber, after it sold its China business to local rival Didi Chuxing in 2016.

Both firms are describing the deal as a win for both their companies and their passengers.

Grab is South East Asia's most popular ride-sharing firm with millions of users across eight countries.

Uber will retain a 27.5% stake in the Singapore-based company. Uber's chief executive will also join Grab's board.

Competition in the ride-hailing sector has been fierce, resulting in discounts and promotions offered to riders and drivers reducing profit margins.

But consolidation in the industry was widely expected after Japan's Softbank Group made a large investment in Uber earlier this year.

SoftBank is a major investor in several of Uber's rivals including Grab, China's Didi Chuxing and India's Ola.

It is believed to have pushed for consolidation in order to improve revenues.

Grab operates in eight countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

In an interview with the BBC in February, Grab's boss said the firm wanted to become more relevant to users' everyday lives and planned to expand its food delivery service.

"We want to be that app that allows you to buy your coffee, earn your rewards and then after that, you want to buy your lunch and order in, have your food delivered so you don't have to go through the traffic jam," Mr Tan said.

"And when you're that relevant, that real to every customer across the 600 million base, then you create huge value."

As a result of the merger, the GrabFood service will expand from two to four South East Asian countries by next quarter, Grab said in statement.

"This will be another great use case to drive continued adoption of the GrabPay mobile wallet and support Grab's growing Financial Services platform," the firm said.

Grab added that the acquisition would accelerate its path to profitability.

Last year, Uber lost $4.5bn (£3.2bn) - and its chief executive - as it underwent a fundamental shake-up following a harassment scandal.

In November, Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi, said the company's Asia operations were not going to be "profitable any time soon" and said he would like to see some changes.

The firm has also exited its Russian business, selling to local firm Yandex.

Grab ambil alih operasi Uber Asia Tenggara

Source : https://www.bharian.com.my/bisne ... -uber-asia-tenggara

KUALA LUMPUR: Grab, penyedia perkhidmatan e-panggilan Asia Tenggara mengambil alih operasi Uber Asia Tenggara secara rasmi daripada Uber Technologies Inc.

Perjanjian terbesar seumpamanya di Asia Tenggara itu akan menyaksikan Grab melaksanakan integrasi dengan perniagaan perkongsian perjalanan dan penghantaran makanan Uber di rantau terbabit melalui platform pengangkutan pelbagai modal dan teknologi kewangan sedia adanya.   

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan dan Pengasas Bersama Grab, Anthony Tan, berkata, pengambilalihan itu menandakan permulaan era baru di mana penggabungan itu menyaksikan ia menjadi peneraju dalam platform dan kecekapan kos di rantau ini.

"Melalui penggabungan itu, Grab akan menjadi platform mudah alih atas talian ke luar talian (O2O) pertama di Asia Tenggara dan pemain utama dalam segmen penghantaran makanan," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini, hari ini.  

Pengambilalihan itu akan membolehkan Grab menyediakan perkhidmatan asas bagi penjagaan pelanggan paling banyak di rantau ini dengan membabitkan segmen pengangkutan selamat dan berpatutan, penghantaran bungkusan dan makanan, pembayaran mudah alih dan perkhidmatan kewangan.  

Beliau berkata, Grab akan mengembangkan perniagaan GrabFood sedia adanya di Indonesia dan Thailand kepada dua lagi negara iaitu Singapura dan Malaysia.

Ia berikutan integrasi perniagaan Uber Eats dengan GrabFood yang dijangka berada di semua negara utama Asean menjelang separuh pertama 2018.  

Untuk segmen pengangkutan, Grab akan mengembangkan tawaran pengangkutannya dengan membabitkan lebih banyak lagi perkhidmatan pengangkutan tempatan dan penyelesaian mobiliti baru dengan kerjasama pembekal pengangkutan dan pembuat kereta lain.  

"Kami juga akan berkerjasama dengan kerajaan dan operator pengangkutan awam bagi menghubungkan perkhidmatan pengangkutan awam bersepadu," katanya.   

Dalam masa sama, Grab akan meningkatkan dan meluaskan tawaran di bawah Grab Financial termasuk pembayaran mudah alih, pembiayaan mikro, insurans dan perkhidmatan kewangan lain bagi pelanggan yang kurang diberi perhatian, usahawan mikro dan perniagaan kecil di rantau Asia Tenggara.

"GrabPay sebagai dompet mudah alih akan boleh didapati di semua negara utama di rantau Asia Tenggara menjelang akhir tahun ini," katanya.  

Untuk meminimumkan gangguan, Grab dan Uber akan bekerjasama bagi memindahkan segera pemandu dan penumpang Uber, pelanggan Uber Eats, rakan perniagaan dan penghantaran ke platform Grab.

Aplikasi Uber akan terus beroperasi selama dua minggu untuk memastikan kestabilan pemandu Uber yang sedang beralih ke Grab manakala, Uber Eats akan beroperasi sehingga akhir Mei di mana selepas itu rakan restoran dan penghantarannya akan berpindah ke GrabFood.

Uber sold to Grab: Temasek Holdings to lose S$642m
March 25, 2018



Uber has sold off it’s Southeast Asian ride-hailing business to Grab, in what appears to be the biggest play out against Temasek Holdings.

Earlier in Dec 2017, Temasek Holdings-owned transport operator ComfortDelgro have wasted S$642 million buying over Uber’s Singapore arm, Lion City Holdings, to acquire the access of Uber application usage.

Probably one of the worst business decisions made by Ho Ching, Lion City Holdings have a S$1 billion debt position as of Dec 2016.  The S$642 million grants ComfortDelgro over 51% of Lion City Holdings, a car-rental arm in Singapore owning around 14,000 rental cars. The purchase of their competitor means ComfortDelgro paid for over S$91,000 per rental car, deemed by many business analysts overpriced for the depreciating assets.

To worsen the damage, ComfortDelgro drivers did not see an increase in their income and reception of the Uber app is lukewarm. According to Uber, 30% of the drivers dropped out after using the app for a week due to lower earnings.

The merger of the two major ride-hailing applications would also mean that Grab now have a monopoly over Singapore and price hike is almost a certain to recover the expenses spent on the takeover.
