Powered by low-temperature hydrogen cells developed at the University of Tartu, the vehicle’s main goal is enhancing last-mile transportation by getting people to their end destination as conveniently as their own car would. In 2021, the hydrogen shuttle drove its first test kilometres and was authorised by the Estonian Road Administration for public traffic. Not just making better cars, but getting people to use cars less.” Enter the world’s first hydrogen-powered autonomous vehicleĪuve Tech’s self-driving shuttle grew out of cooperation with the Tallinn University of Technology. So we need to provide other tools to create better living environments.”Īuve Tech’s answer to the problem is simple, yet ambitious: “We have a solution that reduces the number of trips you use your personal car for, contributing to protecting the environment. “Electric cars don’t solve the problem of congestion, and we’re reaching bottlenecks in charging them. Rõivas points out that while electric cars will be a big part of the solution, simply building better private cars is not enough - because that still leaves us with too many cars on the roads. “We can’t fight climate change without addressing road transportation,” says Auve Tech Chairman and former Prime Minister of Estonia, Taavi Rõivas. More and more people and goods are on the move - to the point where road transport is responsible for 20% of CO2 emissions globally. The world’s population keeps growing and urbanisation is on the rise.
