Benteler, Beep and Mobileye plan to develop and deploy autonomous movers to address micro-transit needs across public and private communities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benteler EV Systems, Beep Inc., and Mobileye, an Intel Company, announced a strategic collaboration to develop and deploy automotive-grade, fully electric, autonomous movers in public and private communities across North America. Aimed at first- and last-mile use cases in urban areas, the shuttles are due to begin production deployments in the United States in 2024.
\nThe collaboration between Benteler EV Systems, Beep and Mobileye will facilitate the development and deployment of a fully autonomous (SAE Level 4) electric mover for the U.S. designed to meet automotive industry and safety standards for public road use. The purpose-built autonomous mover from Benteler EV Systems will be underpinned by Mobileye\u2019s industry leading self-driving system, Mobileye Drive™, and supported by Beep\u2019s proven deployment and operations systems, technology and services.
\n\u201cMultipassenger micro-transit needs are ever-increasing in our cities and towns globally and must be addressed in order to reduce road congestion, protect the environment and provide safe, reliable mobility for all to access,\u201d explained Hinrich Woebcken, advisory board member for Beep and former CEO of Volkswagen North America. \u201cBringing to market an affordable, automotive-grade, electric, autonomous mover is a solution that will transform mobility as we know it today.\u201d
\nThe trio can draw upon years of experience in important aspects of autonomous solutions \u2013 Beep in the operations of micro-transit and mobility solutions, Benteler EV Systems in the design and manufacturing of automotive solutions and safety systems, and Mobileye in the delivery of automated driving solutions.
\nCollaboration Taps into Cross-Industry Experience
\nBenteler EV Systems, a Benteler company and undisputed expert in full system technology for electric vehicles, is well known for its scalable and modular platform for electric vehicles, the Benteler Electric Drive System. Offering first-class engineering, excellent vehicle integration and global manufacturing expertise, Benteler EV Systems will develop an autonomous mover and integrate all individual subsystems into the final vehicle. This includes the industrialization and production of the mover. Production will take place in the U.S., with the ambition to roll out the mover to other countries helping deliver the mobility of the future.
\n\u201cAutonomous movers are the solution for future public transportation, solving the mobility challenges of increasing urbanization and emissions,\u201d said Marco Kollmeier, managing director of Benteler EV Systems GmbH. \u201cThese movers need to be robust for 24\/7 public or commercial use, at optimized costs and with excellent riding comfort. Consequently, we decided to go for this strategic collaboration with our partners Mobileye and Beep, to build autonomous movers delivering exactly against these market demands. Another example of how we make the mobility of tomorrow lighter, safer and more sustainable.\u201d
\nMobileye is a market leader in autonomous driving solutions, having shipped more than 100 million of its leading computer vision solutions for the established driving-assistance market. With one of the most widely dispersed autonomous fleet in the world, operating in Israel, Germany, Japan, China, France and the U.S., Mobileye is proving daily the capabilities of its Mobileye Drive self-driving system.
\n\u201cThe full benefits of autonomy can only be reached with scale. Working with Beep and Benteler, Mobileye aims to mass-produce first- and last-mile self-driving mobility solutions that will enable the convenient, accessible and safe movement of people across North America,\u201d said Johann Jungwirth, vice president of Mobility-as-a-Service at Mobileye.
\nBeep enjoys a leadership position in the U.S., having successfully tested autonomous electric shuttles in many public road projects for tens of thousands of riders over tens of thousands of road miles in 2021 alone. The company\u2019s service and technology are estimated to have prevented many cubic tons of carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuel-based transit services with cleaner electric vehicles. Beep has worked closely with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as part of its autonomous vehicle test programs and is applying those years of learning to assist in the design of the new platform with an emphasis on safety.
\n\u201cBeep\u2019s well-established U.S. footprint for our autonomous mobility operations model, which incorporates machine learning, contextual route intelligence and Beep\u2019s existing centralized command center platform, combine with Benteler\u2019s and Mobileye\u2019s manufacturing expertise to make this the first alignment of all capabilities needed to successfully scale the deployment of this important transformation in passenger mobility,\u201d said Joe Moye, CEO of Beep.<\/p>\n
