Progressing to autonomy
Our belief is that shared autonomous transport is set to radically change the way we travel and live, helping to make more inter-connected, accessible and sustainable communities. New autonomous transportation systems provide a valuable opportunity to provide first and last mile for communities across the region.
Already in Australasia we are seeing autonomous and on-demand transport change the way that our passengers commute, with more consumers becoming accustomed to technology playing a greater role in their transportation.
Transdev are global leaders in autonomous mobility and we are eager to apply our global expertise to further integrate the technology throughout Australia and New Zealand.
User case study: groundbreaking operations
Offering night or off-peak services
How can we enable people to travel at night, when traditional transport networks are not operating, or in off-peak periods, when transport services are reduced? Autonomous vehicles represent a transport option that complements traditional networks, providing solutions when buses, metro systems and trams are not running
Providing access to a private site or site with restricted access
What do business parks, ports, airports, hospitals, industrial sites and nuclear power stations all have in common? They are all private sites or sites with restricted access. Consequently, how can we make it easier for workers and visitors to travel to and within these areas, where access is limited and often prohibited for personal vehicles?
Facilitating access to a city centre or tourist attraction
Accessing a city centre, tourist attraction, leisure complex or shopping centre represents a specific problem due to pedestrian areas, the management of arrival flows (by public transport or by car) and the challenge of facilitating access to such sites.
Providing transport to the nearest station or stop
How can we enable the residents of an area to easily get to their closest metro station or tram stop?
How can we make it easier for travellers to reach their final destination?
How can we offer families, students and pensioners customised transport to enable them to enjoy themselves, learn and get medical treatment?

The i-Cristal electric autonomous shuttle designed for the shared mobility of tomorrow
01 Transdev Transportation Technology built into the i-Cristal shuttle to ensure it operates smoothly and safely in urban traffic
02 Different types of sensors provide the vehicle with a 360° vision
03 The shuttle is accessible to passengers with reduced mobility thanks to its low floor and access ramp
Management of the entire value chain
- From the first design stages to operational deployment, we work side-by-side with local authorities through every stage of the autonomous transport project, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Our service comprises the operation, maintenance and management of control centres and sending employees on-site whenever necessary.
- We can also create apps and all other related digital services for an optimized traveller experience.
International experience
In 2005, we signed our first international agreement to introduce a fleet of autonomous shuttles to Rotterdam’s Rivium business district.
Our presence in 20 countries, across four geographical zones, enables us to implement a tailor-made development plan, managed by a dedicated team, for each autonomous fleet.
The blend of our global vision of mobility and a local anchorage allows us to develop unique solutions that are relevant and tailored to the needs and realities of your regions.
