Automated Shuttle Pilot
Autonomous shuttle to reinvent port mobility infrastructure
First test of Pendel's deployment and partnership model for automated passenger transport in the Port of Barcelona thanks to the ride-to-autonomy European program
A unique opportunity
First test of Pendel's deployment and partnership model for automated passenger transport
Offer a realistic environment to test the impact of autonomous vehicles on our daily life
Kick-off for autonomous ridership in the Port of Barcelona
What is it about?
Autonomous shuttles to change the management of Port Infrastructures: Pendel Mobility and The Port of Barcelona launch the first of-its-kind autonomous shuttle in a dense mixed-traffic environment. It is part of a collection of pilots funded by the European ride-to-autonomy program taking place all over the EU. Located at the Port of Barcelona, this pilot stands out as a kick-off for Pendel Mobility as well as for the Port in the path to deploy autonomous shuttle fleets in the near future.
