ZF to partner with mobility provider Beep for autonomous Level 4 shuttle

ZF is making waves in the US as it launches a new autonomous shuttle alongside an American mobility company

In a major move, ZF has unveiled its next generation shuttle for autonomous driving in urban environments and mixed traffic.

ZF will partner with mobility provider Beep to help bring the new-generation Level 4 shuttle to the US market.

The pair have signed an agreement to potentially supply 7,000 new-generation shuttles, with the vehicle being launched at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month.

ZF says the shuttle complements the established model designed for use in segregated lanes.

The shuttle will be combined with Beep’s mobility services and service management platform into a single-source autonomous mobility solution.

“In order to reduce traffic-related emissions in metropolitan areas, a reduction in motorised individual transport and a simultaneous expansion of more sustainable, efficient, comfortable and affordable mobility options are required,” ZF executive vice president of autonomous mobility systems Torsten Gollewski says.
