The 'albus' project in Burgdorf, Hannover, has commenced testing a revolutionary autonomous bus, the Karsan Autonomous e-Atak. This eight-meter electric vehicle has achieved Level-4 testing approval, allowing it to operate in mixed traffic along a 7-kilometer route with 13 stops. Starting trials in May 2025, the bus is set to autonomously navigate intersections and pedestrian crossings, monitored by onboard safety staff. With operations funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, the pilot aims to gather public feedback to evaluate acceptance before a public trial phase in Q3 2025.
The albus project in Burgdorf seeks to integrate fully autonomous buses in public transport, achieving advanced automation levels that enhance urban mobility while ensuring passenger safety.
Set to begin operations in May 2025, the Karsan Autonomous e-Atak aims to showcase its capabilities in mixed-traffic environments, marking a significant step for autonomous transit in Germany.
