CharterUP has partnered with Holon to combine Holon’s complete autonomous mobility ecosystem with CharterUP‘s AI-first mobility platform, nationwide network and deployment expertise, creating a clear and scalable pathway for organizations to introduce autonomous services into existing transportation systems.
The partnership combines Holon’s autonomous technology and operational systems with CharterUP’s end-to-end software platform and deployment expertise. CharterUP will deploy Holon’s integrated autonomous mobility solution across its AI-enabled network, including campuses, airports, transit agencies and community environments.
CharterUP’s turnkey solutions will expand through the partnership to include access to Holon urban autonomous shuttles for designated deployment use cases.
Together, the partners aim to support the transition from human-driven transportation to autonomous operations across campuses, airports, transit agencies and community networks.
Supporting the transition to autonomous transportation
Under this partnership, CharterUP will serve as the exclusive partner within defined deployment scenarios, enabling customers to pilot and adopt Holon’s integrated autonomous mobility solutions within their existing transportation networks.
“This partnership accelerates our mission to redefine group mobility by bringing AI-first intelligence and autonomous capability into real-world transportation operations,” said Armir Harris, the founder and CEO of CharterUP. “By offering Holon’s mobility solutions to our customers, we can help organizations evolve their transportation networks responsibly, starting with human-driven operations and transitioning to fully autonomous shuttles when they are ready. This is a major step toward safer, more efficient and more modern transportation.”
CharterUP currently delivers its shuttle and bus programs through human-operated fleets supported by its proprietary AI-based technology platform and operational expertise. Through the collaboration, the company will support customers in integrating autonomous mobility into existing operations, enabling a phased transition as regulations, safety frameworks and operational readiness evolve.
Built for autonomy
The Holon urban shuttle is the core component of Holon’s integrated mobility solution. Designed for shared public transportation, it offers Level 4 autonomous capability, automotive-grade safety and durability, ADA-compliant barrier-free accessibility, a fully electric zero-emission powertrain and a high-capacity shared-ride configuration.
With space for up to 15 passengers, the shuttle includes a full sensor suite – lidar, radar and cameras – and can operate on fixed routes or as an on-demand service at speeds up to 60km/h.
“Partnering with CharterUP is an important step in bringing autonomous mobility into everyday transportation networks,” said Dr Sven Herzig, chief sales officer at Holon. “By combining Holon’s integrated 360 mobility solution with CharterUP’s proven deployment expertise and national reach, we are enabling organizations to adopt autonomous transit safely, sustainably and at scale, from early pilots to full operations.”
A scalable pathway to autonomous transit
CharterUP will support customers in planning deployment routes and service models that optimize rider experience and operational efficiency, managing blended fleets of human-driven and autonomous vehicles, transitioning operations as autonomy advances, and integrating vehicles, drivers where applicable and service oversight into a unified transit solution.
