The shuttles from the Danish firm will be managing about 15 autonomous vehicles in public transport in Oslo as a part of the European research project Ultimo. Under the project, electric minibusses will also be deployed in Geneva.
According to Philipp Wetzel, Managing Director of the AMAG Innovation & Venture Lab, “Already a reality overseas, ever larger fleets of autonomous vehicles will also be deployed in Europe from 2023. The AMAG group could also benefit from it, in the context of financing, maintenance, and repair, or for charging services. With Holo, we have a partner for exploitation”.
In the Swiss territory, the AMAG lab will be responsible for Holo’s offers and other projects. The two companies are working together jointly to offer autonomous mobility solutions in both public and private sectors with other partners in Switzerland.
According to Helmut Ruhl, CEO of the group, AMAG, “The AMAG Innovation & Venture Lab focuses on the business model, which is set to gain relevance in the future.
