In a significant step towards industrial mobility automation, Oxa and Bradshaw EV have announced a collaboration to deliver scalable autonomous vehicle solutions. Oxa, a global leader in autonomous vehicle software, and Bradshaw EV, a prominent manufacturer of industrial electric vehicles, are partnering to integrate Oxa’s self-driving technology with Bradshaw EV’s reliable vehicle platforms. This collaboration seeks to tackle critical challenges businesses face today, including labor shortages, escalating operational costs, and the demand for enhanced efficiency and safety in industrial settings.
Key Highlights
- Collaboration: Oxa and Bradshaw EV join forces to advance industrial mobility automation.
- Technology Integration: Oxa’s self-driving software, Oxa Driver, powers Bradshaw EV’s vehicles.
- Initial Focus: T800 8-tonne tow tractor and Club Car Carryall 500 utility vehicle.
- Applications: Autonomous towing for logistics and asset monitoring in tough environments.
- Scalability: Standardized autonomy approach supports expansion to other vehicle platforms.
- Benefits: Reduces labor shortages, cuts costs, and boosts efficiency and safety.
The partnership begins with two key Bradshaw EV platforms: the T800 8-tonne tow tractor and the Club Car Carryall 500 utility vehicle. The T800, enhanced by Oxa’s technology, is tailored for off-highway logistics, efficiently moving goods and components across airports, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers. Meanwhile, the Carryall 500 excels in autonomous asset monitoring, inspection, and data collection in demanding settings like solar farms and industrial plants. Capable of navigating rough terrain and harsh conditions, it minimizes manual inspections, enhancing operational performance and supporting preventative maintenance.
A standout feature of this collaboration is Oxa’s use of a unified interface to integrate its autonomous technology across various vehicle types. This standardized method streamlines the addition of autonomy to future Bradshaw EV platforms, providing businesses with a scalable solution for industrial mobility automation. Companies can adopt self-driving technology now and expand its use as operational needs evolve.
Gavin Jackson, CEO of Oxa, remarked, “Industrial sectors are ideally placed to benefit from Industrial Mobility Automation, today. Collaborating with Bradshaw EV allows us to deploy our autonomous technology on trusted vehicle platforms like the T800 and Carryall 500 at scale. Together, we are providing businesses with safe, reliable self-driving solutions that directly address operational inefficiencies and challenges, unlocking significant productivity gains across various repetitive mobility and transportation workflows.” Drew Bradshaw, Joint Managing Director at Bradshaw EV, added, “At Bradshaw EV, we are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the value and capability we offer our customers. Collaborating with Oxa enables us to offer state-of-the-art autonomous solutions that drive efficiency, safety, and operational resilience for industrial workflows.”
This collaboration between Oxa and Bradshaw EV marks a pivotal advancement in adopting autonomous technology within industrial environments, promising to revolutionize business operations and address modern workplace challenges effectively.
