Oxa partners with eVersum to deploy autonomous shuttle service in Belfast

Oxa, a UK-based autonomous vehicle software developer, has partnered with eVersum to create autonomous city shuttles called eShuttles. These shuttles will be used by public transport operators in Europe and the US. eVersum will produce electric base vehicles that will be equipped with Oxa's autonomous software and integrated sensors and computing technology. The eShuttles will be able to carry up to 20 seated passengers and 50 people in total, and will provide low-noise, zero-emission transportation. The first deployment of these shuttles is expected in the UK later this year. Analyst QuickTake: Oxa has a history of collaborating with vehicle makers and operators to integrate its autonomous technology into shuttle services. The list includes partnerships with German auto parts maker ZF (October 2021) , Swedish electric car manufacturer NEVS (May 2022) , and autonomous shuttle operator Beep (August 2023) to develop and deploy autonomous passenger shuttles.
