Bestmile announced its partnership with autonomous vehicle technology provider Ohmio Automotion. Ohmio will provide 150 vehicles to an urban development project in Korea. And that’s not the only good news from Bestmile.
HMI Technologies and its subsidiary ohmio based in New Zealand is a pioneer in Intelligent Transport Systems. Ohmio vehicles are designed to connect with other vehicles, infrastructure and traffic management systems. This connectivity helps the vehicles achieve greater efficiency and safety while giving service providers, regulators and traffic managers greater control.
Ohmio recently announced its collaboration with Korea’s Southwest Coast Enterprise City Development Co Ltd (SolaSeaDo) to provide 150 ohmio LIFT vehicles to this new urban development project. The ohmio LIFT is a 20-person shuttle that can be extended to carry up to 40 passengers.
“SolaSeaDo’s fleet of 150 autonomous shuttles may be the largest autonomous vehicle deployment in the world,” said Dean Zabrieszach, CEO of HMI Technologies. “Bestmile is an ideal partner to help ohmio deliver a fully automated mobility service.”
“Bestmile and HMI technologies/ohmio share a commitment to safe, stress-free, sustainable mobility for everyone,” said Bestmile CEO and cofounder Raphael Gindrat. “Together, we provide mobility service providers everything they need to deliver next-generation autonomous shuttle services.”
Bestmile is not only the partner of choice for mobility projects around the world but also in its home country Switzerland. Geneva Public Transport (TPG) announced this week its first autonomous vehicle service, adding autonomous shuttles to the XA line in the municipality of Meyrin on the TPG network. The line is now served by electric autonomous shuttles—the first autonomous vehicles used in the TPG public network. Bestmile is providing the Mobility Services Platform used to configure and manage the service. The deployment demonstrates an important step in the field of sustainable mobility, State Councilor for Infrastructure Serge Dal Busco said in a statement.
Bestmile offers the only platform of its kind that enables autonomous and human-driven vehicles of any brand or type to work together as fleets to deliver fixed-route and on-demand services. Mobility service providers around the world use the Bestmile Mobility Service Platform to quickly and easily plan, deploy, manage, and optimize autonomous shuttle, robotaxi, ridehailing and micro-transit services. The platform includes a complete set of operator and traveler software and mobile apps enabling service providers to integrate new mobility services with existing operations and transit modes.
