Applied EV, an autonomous vehicle technology provider, and Oxa, a pioneer in self-driving software, have announced a strategic partnership to help enable the commercial deployment of autonomous fleets at scale.
Expanding on their existing partnership, this new agreement combines Applied EV’s expertise in secure, software-defined vehicle platforms with Oxa’s self-driving software, to deliver an immediate turnkey solution that equips fleet operators with the necessary tools to integrate autonomy into their operations today.
Resilient, future-ready operations
As commercial industries face challenges like driver shortages – which the partners reckon are set to double globally by 2028 – as well as navigating logistics inefficiencies and the push for sustainability, they claim this simplified access to autonomous solutions offers a seamless, scalable path to resilient, future-ready operations.
Earlier this year Applied EV showcased its sixth Generation Blanc Robot technology at CES with Suzuki. According to the company, it marked the first time that a fully software-defined autonomous logistics vehicle can be produced to automotive volumes and standards.
Through this partnership, companies can lease Applied EV’s vehicle platform equipped with sensors and compute based on an Oxa Reference Autonomy Design (Rad) – and running Oxa’s self-driving software, Oxa Driver.
