The companies will collaborate to develop a comprehensive, modular
transportation system to enable clients to book rides, and mobility
operators to monitor and operate self-driving car fleets.
"As the mobility services landscape keeps evolving, we have a
great opportunity to offer innovative, connected mobility solutions
for the evolving needs of our customers, fully aligned with our
vision of a zero-emission, zero-fatalities society," said Ogi Redzic,
Renault-Nissan Alliance senior vice president of Connected Vehicles
and Mobility Services. "Partnering with Transdev allows us to share
our knowledge as leaders in electric vehicles, autonomous drive and
connected-car technologies with one of the largest multi-modal
mobility operators worldwide. Together we will develop an advanced
driverless mobility system that will enhance existing public and
on-demand transport systems."
The research will initially include field tests in Paris-Saclay
with Renault ZOEs, the leading electric vehicle in Europe, and
Transdev's on-demand dispatch, supervision and routing platform.
"The future of mobility will be P.A.C.E. - Personalized,
Autonomous, Connected and Electric," said Yann Leriche, chief
performance officer at Transdev. "As a worldwide leader in public
transport and on-demand shared services, we are committed to pioneer
in mobility to always offer our clients the best solutions for their
journeys. Our partnership with Renault-Nissan will reinforce our
innovation capabilities and accelerate our time-to-market by
combining our strengths with those of a global car manufacturer that
shares the same willingness to enhance daily mobility to the benefit
of clients."
The Renault-Nissan Alliance has been forming partnerships to
accelerate the development of advanced connected-car technologies and
mobility services. These include a partnership with Microsoft to
develop a single global platform that will improve the customer
experience by making driving more intuitive, intelligent and fun; and
a partnership with Japanese internet company DeNA to begin tests in
Japan to develop driverless vehicles for commercial services.
