Renault Group, in collaboration with its partner WeRide, is making significant strides in the field of autonomous public transportation. The automotive giant aims to revolutionise the way we think about mobility, particularly in urban and peri-urban environments. This initiative aligns with growing interest from local authorities and mobility operators eager to adopt sustainable and efficient transport solutions.
Technical and Operational Advancements
In May 2024, Renault Group launched its first open-road experiment in Europe, showcasing two autonomous electric miniBuses during the international Roland-Garros tennis tournament. This initiative successfully transported nearly 700 passengers over 1,000 kilometres, affirming the practicality and readiness of the technology. These miniBuses, powered by advanced battery technology capable of covering significant distances on a single charge, represent a leap towards more sustainable city planning and carbon reduction efforts.
