"Our Enviro100AEV carrying passengers as part of the Connector trial is another great milestone for autonomous bus technology in the United Kingdom. This moment builds on years of advanced research, development and testing in multiple projects, and Connector again sets new standards for what is possible today with the technology of the future."
"Designed and built in the UK, the Enviro100AEV is a battery-electric autonomous bus equipped with an SAE Level 4 automated driving system supplied by Fusion Processing Ltd., integrating AI, high-performance computing, radar, lidar and cameras. Trained safety drivers are on board at all times."
"The first vehicle entered service on Wednesday 17 December, with a second Enviro100AEV set to join the trial in the coming weeks. The buses operate between the Trumpington and Babraham Park & Ride sites and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, running Monday to Friday and free of charge to passengers."
Alexander Dennis started trial passenger operations of autonomous Enviro100AEV electric buses in Cambridge as part of the Connector self-driving transport project, with the first vehicle entering service on 17 December and a second due soon. The buses run between Trumpington and Babraham Park & Ride and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Monday to Friday, free to passengers, and are operated by Whippet of the Ascendal Group. The Enviro100AEV is UK-designed, battery-electric, and fitted with an SAE Level 4 system from Fusion Processing integrating AI, high-performance computing, radar, lidar and cameras, with trained safety drivers on board. Connector is run by the Greater Cambridge Partnership and funded via the UK Government CAM Pathfinder Programme; the buses are owned by Mistral Bus & Coach.
