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 report by independent think tank the Green Alliance claims that the UK government will have problems if energy systems are not improved to take account of developments in solar panels, onshore wind, electric vehicles (EVs) and battery storage. It says people are increasingly choosing to be energy owners and are able to take back at least some control over energy production. The report states, “Politicians are arguing over whether or not to subsidise renewables without seeing how technology has changed
