May Mobility and Tecnobus Unveil Autonomous Minibus Plans

May Mobility, in collaboration with Tecnobus, is set to introduce an autonomous electric minibus by 2026, designed to seat up to 30 passengers and equipped with wheelchair accessibility. This initiative aims to address urban congestion by offering a scalable transit solution for cities, airports, and corporate campuses, with the vehicles capable of reaching speeds of 45 mph. The minibuses will feature swappable batteries to minimize downtime and are homologated for use in markets such as Canada and Europe. May Mobility's approach focuses on integrating autonomous vehicles into public transit systems through government partnerships, rather than pursuing a robotaxi model. The company currently operates autonomous fleets in several U.S. and Japanese cities, with plans to expand further. This development positions May Mobility as a leader in sustainable and autonomous transit solutions, enhancing its mobility-as-a-service offerings.
