Applied EV, a developer of autonomous vehicle technology, and Oxa, a self-driving software company, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at enabling the commercial deployment of autonomous vehicles at scale.
Building on their existing collaboration, this new agreement will look to pair Applied EV’s experiences in secure, software-defined vehicle platforms with Oxa’s self-driving software to deliver an immediate, turnkey solution designed to equip businesses with the necessary tools to integrate autonomy into their operations. The companies cited the foundation of their new partnership in challenges such as driver shortages, logistics efficiencies and the push for sustainability. In overcoming these challenges, the simplified access to autonomous solutions facilitated by the new partnership aims to offer a seamless, scalable path to resilient, future-ready operations.
The partnership will likewise enable commercial vehicle companies to lease Applied EV’s vehicle platform equipped with sensors and compute based on an Oxa Reference Autonomy Design (RAD) – and running Oxa’s self-driving software, Oxa Driver. An initial 100 Blanc Robots integrated with Oxa’s self-driving technology will be rolled out, followed by the broader commercial deployment of large scale fleets.
The channel partnership will further aim to enhance global access to autonomous mobility by leveraging a combined presence across APAC, the UK, the EU, and the USA. Here, Applied EV will provide solutions to Oxa and its customers, while integrating and delivering Oxa’s products across its own core markets and industries, including logistics, agriculture and mining.
As demand for autonomous vehicle solutions continues to grow, this partnership will ultimately seek to facilitate a new era of scalable, turnkey autonomy for industrial and commercial applications.
