Fusion Processing Ltd. is gearing up for the commercialization of its automated trucks, buses, and material-handling vehicles. With the passage of the Automated Vehicle Act 2024 and significant advancements in Fusion’s Automated Drive technology, the company is poised to lead the market in autonomous solutions. The company is actively seeking partnerships to deploy automated trucks and buses by 2026-2028, with its Automated Tow Tractor set for market release in 2025.
Key Highlights:
- Fusion Processing’s CAVstar Automated Drive System is featured in the Bradshaw EV T800 Tow Tractor, set for market release in 2025.
- Automated Vehicle Act 2024 provides a legal framework for autonomous vehicles on public roads, accelerating the commercialization process.
- Partnerships with truck and bus manufacturers are being sought for vehicle deployments in the 2026-2028 timeframe.
- Autonomous vehicles are ideal for repeat routes, consistency, and operational efficiency in logistics and public transport.
- Reduced tire and brake wear, lower emissions, and cost savings are additional benefits of automated vehicle operation.
Fusion Processing’s CAVstar drive system is currently being displayed at the Cenex show in the Bradshaw EV T800 Tow Tractor, which successfully completed trials at a UK industrial site. The company envisions a future where autonomous trucks and buses will operate efficiently and reliably on public roads.
“We are fast approaching a pivotal moment in the evolution of transportation,” said Jim Hutchinson, CEO of Fusion Processing. “The combination of our technology progress and the supportive legal environment mean that it’s time for operators of commercial vehicle fleets to plan for the availability of these vehicles over the next three to four years.”
Fusion’s approach focuses on professional applications where safety and reliability are paramount. Their experience in autonomous bus operations has laid a solid foundation for the deployment of autonomous trucks, promising a future of safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable transportation solutions.
