The project is deploying fleets of sustainable, cost-effective automated vehicles in three European cities, where they will be used for public transportation and logistics purposes. The vehicles are intended to be available on-demand, offer door-to-door services, and operate within a fully connected, multimodal transport system. Leveraging the work of prior demonstrator projects, ULTIMO is set to have a high technical and societal impact from day one, while also ensuring optimised costs and maximised safety.
