‘Ultra-durable robotaxis’ make business and environmental sense, says Cenex

Autonomous vehicles used in private hire taxi operations can achieve a 42% reduction in lifecycle global warming potential when designed with ultra-durable components, compared against the same vehicle with normal durability components. This is a key finding of a research project undertaken by Cenex.

Electric robotaxis will need to be capable of withstanding up to 1.5 million kilometres over their lifetime in future operating patterns, and ultra-durable components (such as the powertrain,...
