KRABAT

The mission of KRABAT from the Government’s innovation partnership program, “The next generation’s travel and transport,” is to run a self-driving, electric and shared vehicle project in a system solution that can push Sweden against a shift in the transport system. To implement this on a large and full scale, huge investments are needed from all involved players, but demonstrations and reality-driven pilots are initially critical to creating a sigh among users to radically change the way in which they have so far solved their mobility. And this is what KRABAT wants to accomplish.

KRABAT comprises six sub-projects

• Two of them aim at deploying fully automatic and electrified minibuses in real applications;
   
  • In Stockholm, Nobina is the project leader for the Autopilot
