Zurich Airport (Flughafen Zürich AG) is piloting the future of mobility. 🚌 Since March, employees have been testing autonomous buses on a 2 km route across the runway. The next phase will see driverless operation monitored remotely from the Circle business center. If successful, Zurich Airport would become the first airport in Europe to introduce autonomous buses for staff transport. A step forward for innovation, safety, and sustainable airport operations.

Thank you, Finnish Public Transport Association, for an insightful Paikallisliikennepäivät in the lovely Kuopion kaupunki - City of Kuopio! During the event, it was delightful to hear from public transport representatives that passenger counts have been increasing in cities. Actions to improve route and bus stop accessibility are ongoing, and priority is given to buses over private cars when planning traffic systems. The role of public transportation is constantly increasing as it provides affordable travel options, helps reduce traffic congestion, produces fewer emissions per passenger than private cars, and attracts businesses and tourism by making cities more accessible. Autonomous buses can strengthen and complement public transportation systems by serving first- and last-mile connections (e.g., from neighborhoods to train stations).  They can also enable service in smaller towns, campuses, industrial areas, and holiday resorts, where traditional bus service is too expensive. Remoted operates automated buses in Finland, and within autonomous driving, we also develop a remote control centre, as well as test solutions for automated charging as part of the metaCCAZE Project.   The project, co-funded by the European Union, aims to revolutionise mobility in European cities, serving both passengers and freight, with innovative electric, automated, and connected solutions designed to make transport smarter, net zero, and more efficient for all.

🚍✨ A milestone for autonomous mobility in Europe!  #Herford, Germany has launched its first autonomous shuttle service as part of the EU-funded ULTIMO Project, coordinated by Deutsche Bahn. The pilot connects the city’s train station with the western part of town, offering residents a first-hand look at how autonomous, electric minibuses can strengthen public transport. We can make public transport smarter, greener, and more accessible. The Herford site offers, 🔹 Two fully electric minibuses 🔹 9 seats + 1 wheelchair space 🔹 Free rides (with online registration & booking via app) Check it out 👇 https://lnkd.in/ej9vVijn #ULTIMO_he #ULTIMOMaaS #ULTIMOAV #HorizonEurope #AVinMaaS CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency #automatedmobility #CCAM #publictransport #AutonomousMobility #SustainableTransport #Innovation

Einride's historic driverless border crossing between Sweden and Norway marks a major step forward for autonomous freight, demonstrating technology that enhances efficiency, sustainability, and safety in the global logistics industry. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ecJqz_Ww

🚁🌍 2035: A World Without Cars – The Era of Vertiports & Safe Transportation.. Imagine waking up in 2035. 🚙 The sound of car engines, traffic jams, and honking horns are things of the past. Roads once filled with vehicles are now greener, quieter, and safer. Why? Because vertiports and advanced aerial mobility (AAM) have replaced cars as the primary mode of urban transport. 🔹 The Rise of Vertiports By 2035, cities across the globe are seamlessly connected by vertiports—dedicated hubs for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. These stations aren’t just futuristic airports; they are mobility ecosystems, designed to ensure quick, safe, and sustainable journeys across cities and regions. 🔹 Safety as the New Standard With AI-powered navigation, collision-avoidance systems, and robust regulatory frameworks, air mobility has surpassed the safety standards once expected of cars. The era of road accidents, traffic fatalities, and long commutes has ended. 🔹 A Sustainable Future Electric propulsion and renewable energy integration mean that transportation is no longer a burden on the environment. Cities have reclaimed road space for green parks, cycling tracks, and community hubs. Safety + Sustainability = Progress. 🔹 Life Without Cars No congestion. No emissions. No wasted hours in traffic. Instead, we step into a vertiport, board an eVTOL, and glide silently to our destination in minutes. Accessibility has become the new currency of transport. 👉 The question is not if this will happen, but when. The trajectory of innovation, investment, and policy already points toward a post-car future. By 2035, the car will be a relic of the past, remembered only in museums and history books. The world will belong to vertiports and safe, sustainable mobility. 🚀 Are we ready for this shift? #FutureOfMobility #UrbanAirMobility #AdvancedAirMobility #Vertiports #AviationInnovation #SmartCities #2035Vision #TransportationRevolution #eVTOL #SustainableTransport #NextGenMobility #SafetyFirst

🚲 Driving Multimodal Shared Mobility with Check in the Netherlands Across the Netherlands, the shift from private cars to shared mobility is accelerating. With Check’s latest expansion into e-bikes alongside e-mopeds and electric cars, multimodality is becoming the new standard for urban transport. Segway’s city-ready vehicles and sustainable design approach equip operators like Check with the tools to scale reliable, low-maintenance and user-friendly services — making shared mobility a more practical alternative to private car ownership. Together, these efforts are helping Dutch cities stay liveable, connected and people-first. 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eybNn8cn #Segway #Check #SharedMobility #SustainableMobility #Micromobility #SharedEbike #Netherlands

Experiencing the Blueberry automated wheelchair in action was a glimpse into how technology can extend true independence for passengers who need assistance. Each innovation like this advances our journey towards a Full, Flex, and Independent service model that gives every passenger choice in how they travel.

#TechTuesday - Meet Artour, Switzerland’s first autonomous public bus 🚍   Starting this fall, the historic town of Arbon, located in the Canton of Thurgau in Northeastern Switzerland, will launch the Self-Controlled City Liner, a fully electric, self-driving bus. The first remote-controlled, timetable-based bus in Europe developed by Karsan Automotive and ADASTEC Corp., has already attracted international attention and marks a major step toward smarter, greener, and more flexible urban mobility in Switzerland. Here’s what makes it special: => 100% electric and silent. It glides through the streets without engine noise. => 11 cameras and multiple laser sensors guide the way. => Connects the train station to the swimming pool on a 1.2 miles (2 km) loop with 9 stops, mostly in neighborhoods without regular public transport. With five alternative routes, the bus avoids busy streets during events. => About 26 feet (8m) long, it can carry up to 20 passengers at speeds up to 19 mph (30 km/h). => During the pilot phase, a safety attendant stays on board to intervene if needed. Later, the bus will operate fully autonomously.   Would you ride a bus without a driver? #Innovation #SmartMobility #PublicTransport #Switzerland #swisstech Photo: ©TGA - Technische Gesellschaft Arbon
