Neuron EV has launched a smart transportation shuttle called Hub which it says integrates renewable energy, telecommunications and cloud computing for ease of mobility.


The firm claims Hub can operate as an autonomous ride-sharing service or as an emergency vehicle.

For ride-sharing, the six-seated electric vehicle (EV) can run autonomously within a five-mile radius. The input or scan of a blockchain ID allows a Hub service to operate without reservations while traffic detection software directs the vehicle to areas with high demand, the company adds.

According to Neuron EV, Hub’s platform rides low for a stable centre of gravity and enables efficient induction charging. A galvanised exterior provides secondary charging capability by solar power.

A user can locate a Hub via GPS through a smart device or visit a nearby Hub station.

    A new study shows that on-demand AVs and MaaS together could make a significant difference to traffic in Oslo, Norway – but only if ride-share is involved too If you replace today’s traditional private car ownership with a mixture of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and on-demand autonomous vehicles (AVs) running door-to-door, you could make dramatic cuts in city traffic. That, at least, is the view of researchers from COWI and PTV, who have modelled a variety of future scenarios based on the morning rush h
