In September 2024, Zenmov and MC Metro launched the Philippines' first publicly accessible self-driving bus in New Clark City: a 15-passenger Navya Autonom Shuttle Evo (11 seated) running on the Smart Mobility Operation Cloud, with smart poles, a drone and charging stations feeding real-time traffic data. The NEDO-backed demonstration ran until June 2025.
