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

In ULTIMO, SCALAR Software-as-a-Service will orchestrate the fleets in real-time to:
