Cleveron Mobility starts cooperation with a leading Lithuanian grocery chain
Cleveron Mobility robot couriers start home delivery of goods from IKI stores in Lithuania. The three-way service will be launched in Vilnius and it will be operated by the last-mile transportation platform LastMile. The parties agree that the use of energy and environmentally friendly transport are more and more interconnected, and Clevon Mobility's autonomous vehicle Clevon 1 will be part of the home delivery logistics during the test phase.
-
The first stage of the strategic cooperation is a proof-of-concept pilot project in Lithuania with project partners IKI and LastMile.
-
The main goal of the pilot project is to test Cleveron Mobility technology and bring Cleveron Mobility vehicles to Lithuanian public roads.
-
As part of the pilot project, partners will gain valuable insights into the integration of autonomous vehicles into existing last-mile platforms and how this technology enables service operators to achieve their commercial and environmental goals.
IKI has had stores in the Baltic states since 1991. With over 1.2 million members, IKI runs the second largest loyalty program in Lithuania. The company has 231 stores with approximately 6,000 employees and approximately 1,500 apprentices, which makes IKI one of the largest employers in the country.
LastMile is a startup company that is partly owned by IKI. The company offers fast home delivery of goods through an app in several major Lithuanian cities, and the ordering platform developed by them has quickly reached the phones of many Lithuanians.
Cleveron Mobility develops multifunctional autonomous vehicles that help make home delivery of goods cheaper, faster, more customer-friendly and more environmentally friendly.
