Oxbotica and NEVS team up for self-driving EV fleet
Oxbotica and NEVS are teaming up to develop a fleet of self-driving all-electric vehicles on public roads by the end of 2023.
The long-term strategic partnership will see the Oxbotica Driver autonomy system integrated with the NEVS ‘Sango’ vehicle, aiming to introduce a safer, more sustainable and accessible passenger transportation solution for urban environments.
An initial fleet will be deployed on geo-fenced public roads next year, followed by multiple projects in Europe in 2024. From 2025 onwards, the solution will be scaled globally as part of the NEVS mobility ecosystem, which comprises ‘Sango’, a fleet management system and an app as the user interface.
The NEVS ‘Sango’ vehicle is designed specifically for autonomous driving and optimised for shared passenger transportation in cities. Fully electric and autonomous, the vehicle has an adaptable interior with six movable seats which can be operated in social or family mode, while privacy walls can create four smaller areas for shared, private journeys.
It will be driven by Oxbotica’s full stack autonomy system, Oxbotica Driver, described as a low-energy use, high-performance suite of technologies that work safely and seamlessly with any sensor, vehicle or platform.
