Autonomous Shared Electric Shuttle for Fastrack

Descriptions

Kent County Council would like to engage with autonomous electric shuttle providers within the public transport market in regard to supply, set up and commissioning, of the shuttles and shuttle operator training and shuttle maintenance training to the Fastrack operator for a 1 or 2 year trial. Fastrack has operated successfully since 2006 and is a key element of the substantial developments being constructed in Kent Thameside. The developments are designed to be served by sustainable transport modes and, without Fastrack, it is forecast that there would be significant additional traffic congestion and air pollution on the local road network. Fastrack is therefore vital in increasing the modal share to public transport from private cars.
