Oxa launches autonomous Ford E-Transit for UK and US roads

  • The self-driving Ford E-Transit now operates in the UK and US for logistics and transport.
  • Using Oxa’s Reference Autonomy Designs, these vehicles streamline mass production and scalable autonomous technology integration.
  • Equipped with 360-degree sensors and manual controls, the E-Transit ensures versatility and rigorous real-world testing.

Oxa is changing the game with the launch of its autonomous Ford E-Transit

Until recently, self-driving cars seemed like a futuristic dream, but, after some years of intensive development, they may be a very real advancement.

Oxford-based Oxa has launched its autonomous Ford E-Transit van and minibus. In a huge step forward for the industry, they’re now driving on public roads in the UK and the US. Powered by Oxa’s proprietary software, Oxa Driver, the van brings a cost-effective solution to goods and passenger transport.

Gavin Jackson, CEO of Oxa, celebrated the launch:

“Making the Ford E-Transit available for autonomous operations is the next step on our journey to deliver safe, scalable, and sustainable autonomous solutions. This vehicle represents an important milestone in our mission to reshape the future of passenger transportation and logistics.”

These models are the first vehicles to feature the company’s Reference Autonomy Designs (RADs). These blueprints allow for efficient integration of Oxa’s software, sensors, and systems. OEMs and upfitters can use RADs to scale up autonomous vehicle production while keeping costs manageable.

Oxa thoroughly tests the vehicles using real-world and virtual environments. Generative AI and digital twin simulations enhance safety, making deployment smoother and more reliable. 

These technological marvels are now available to commercial fleets. Oxa’s autonomous E-Transit promises to reshape passenger and logistics transportation on a global scale. They are improving safety, downtime, and efficiency across the board. Get ready to see these on the roads.
