Scoobic MED, the first 100% electric autonomous vehicle with 5G connectivity, designed for last-mile delivery in urban environments, has launched following an alliance between GMV and Passion Motorbike Factory-Scoobic.
The driverless, emission-free Scoobic MED reportedly offers a sustainable, efficient and automated alternative to traditional delivery vehicles, to address the growing challenges of last-mile delivery in urban areas.
The project introduces a pay-per-use model, removing the need for large upfront costs and making autonomous, electric mobility accessible to smaller businesses.
Efficient logistics
Scoobic MED is equipped with 5G connectivity, perception sensors, artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation systems and the GMV uPathWay platform. The technological ecosystem enables obstacle detection and real-time decision-making, and optimizes each route with no need for human intervention.
Miguel Hormigo, manager of GMV’s industry sector, explained, “We’re proud to see these vehicles in operation under real-world conditions, making their own decisions and demonstrating that this futuristic technology has now become a reality. Working together with Scoobic has been an excellent experience, and this operational success is a clear sign of the potential for technological collaboration applied to urban mobility.”
Scoobic’s CEO, José María Gómez, added, “With Scoobic MED, we’ve achieved a major technological advancement that is already having a real impact. We’ve developed much more than just an autonomous vehicle, because we also have a new way of understanding urban logistics: cleaner, more efficient and more human.”
A replicable model
Although the project focused on last-mile delivery, the Scoobic MED vehicle has been designed for adaptability and can transport medical supplies and distribute materials in industrial settings.
