The Transporter by Udelv is the first cab-less autonomous electric delivery vehicle for multi-stop delivery. Coming to CES 2022, the Transporter driven by Mobileye boasts the ability to carry up to 2,000 lbs of cargo and make 80 stops per run.
The multi-stop electronic delivery vehicle features a proprietary, self-contained, hot swappable modular cargo pod called the uPod. With Udelv's mobile apps, deliveries can easily be scheduled, tracked and retrieved.
Udelv aims to have 50,000 units of the Transporter driven by Mobileye on public roads by 2028, and the first Transporters are set to be commercially deployed as of 2023. Daniel Laury, Udelv CEO and co-founder, says "This is a historic day for the transportation and logistics industries," and that the Transporter "was created to solve two great challenges of commercial fleets: the shortage of drivers and the electrification of fleets."
