SCALAR to enable automated people and cargo mobility in Euro
ULTIMO, real-life operations of automated vehicles in Europe
The EU-funded project ULTIMO will deploy automated vehicles in 3 sites across Europe, each with 15 or more multi-vendor vehicles per fleet.
The main goal is to enable real-life operation of automated fleets without safety operator on board and in driverless mode.
The EU-funded project ULTIMO
Today the transport sector finds itself at a crossroad for the deployment of automated vehicles (AVs). The new EU-project ULTIMO seeks to set the foundations and deploy the very first economically viable large-scale, on-demand, and user-oriented AV public transportation services.
- Total budget: EUR 55.96 million
- 23 partners from 8 European countries
- 3 cities in Switzerland, Germany and Norway
- Started in October 2022 for 4 years
SCALAR, the leading orchestration platform for AVs
SCALAR is ZF’s new digital platform designed to orchestrate fleets of automated vehicles of any kind and any brand.
In ULTIMO, SCALAR Software-as-a-Service will orchestrate the fleets in real-time to:
- Send the right driverless vehicle to the right place at the right time
- Enable on-demand services
- Enable people and goods transportation using the same fleets
