EVA-Shuttle

Electric. Connected. Automated.

Start: 10/2018

End: 06/2021

In the “EVA Shuttle” project, connected and autonomously driving mini-shuttles are being developed for the last mile from the bus stop to the front door. Called by app, autonomous shuttles will in future pick up passengers on the principle of carpooling and take them to their destinations.

The project consortium tested a new public transport service that will offer users more options and convenience in the future. The aim of the research project is to develop a public transport mobility concept that will be evaluated using an overall system-oriented fleet test under real conditions at the Test Area Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg (TAF BW).

The German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport is funding the project as part of the Automated and Connected Driving research program with 2.52 million euros over a period of 33 months.
