City-Pod and U-Pod transportation solutions are designed around diverse consumer engagement scenarios, explored through digital twin technology, UX-focused visual considerations, and ergonomic studies. Customers can choose from various logistics transport options, such as frozen or ambient-temperature delivery, and visually track the process in real time.
City-Pod features a bridge-shaped modular structure that enables efficient cargo exchange. Its body-swapping system streamlines loading and unloading across platforms of different heights. Serving as a mobile logistics hub, City-Pod overcomes the space and location constraints of traditional distribution centres. Beyond parcel delivery, it can also transport industrial materials and operate as agricultural machinery.
U-Pod is an electric-powered, self-driving logistics vehicle capable of recognising and following people or objects, furthermore it includes a remote-control function. Even in tight distribution environments, it can rotate 360 degrees in place. Its customisable top platform accommodates various Pod sizes, allowing flexible configurations tailored to user needs.
Together, City-Pod and U-Pod represent an unmanned urban mobility solution for transporting people, luggage, and goods, seamlessly connecting the middle-mile and last-mile stages of logistics. A first-mile mobility trailer drone completes the integrated delivery ecosystem.
