Integrating Fusion’s CAVstar Automated Drive System into fully automated Level 4 electric buses for airport passenger transport brings substantial cost and sustainability benefits.
The CAVstar system has already demonstrated 30% savings in operational costs and 7% in energy savings over 90,000km.
It also means drivers can be replaced by a remote operator providing a further boost to efficiency and resource management.
Other operational advantages including increased safety through reduction of human errors, fuel savings and reduced tyre and brake wear.
“Airports seek increased efficiency in their ground transportation networks as they aim to reduce their carbon footprint and realise cost savings,” said Jim Hutchinson, CEO of Fusion Processing.
“We’re working in partnership with Construct Invest and can now offer airports an integrated transport solution featuring fully automated buses utilising our CAVstar ADS to reduce costs, improve sustainability and safety, and offer a better service for passengers.”
Construct Invest are accelerating the development and deployment of autonomous vehicle technologies in real-world environments, and see the integration of Fusion’s systems as a key enabler for its mission.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Fusion Processing into the Construct Invest’s consortium,” said Karsten Baltzer, CEO, Construct Invest. “Fusion’s CAVstar technology is not only field-proven but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainable and innovative transport solutions.”
