Unlocking large-scale
and passenger-centric automated mobility
The ULTIMO project wants to set the foundations and deploy the very first economically viable large-scale, on-demand, and passenger-oriented Automated Vehicle (AV) public transportation services. By adopting a holistic approach to AV deployment that considers all elements in a cross-sector business environment, ULTIMO wants to truly unlock the integration of AVs into cities with on-demand and door-to-door services, allowing for more sustainable, accessible, and inclusive mobility.

Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia
Improve urban-rural mobility by building a fleet of autonomous minibuses that will be integrated into the existing public transport system as a complement.
