Cooperation Holon and Charterup Aim to Bring Autonomous Mobility to the Streets in the USA

2026-03-02 From Stefanie Eckardt | Translated by AI 1 min Reading Time

The Benteler subsidiary Holon has entered into a cooperation with Charterup. The aim is to implement pilot projects for regular transportation. Together with the parent company and ioki, Holon will contribute its expertise in autonomous shuttles to the partnership, while Charteruo will support it with its mobility platform, operational implementation experience and a nationwide, AI-supported transportation network.

In practical implementation, Charterup will roll out the solution in clearly defined deployment scenarios - including on campuses, at airports, in municipalities and at transport authorities. In addition to the planning of suitable service models, this also includes the operation of mixed fleets of manual and autonomous vehicles, the ongoing optimization of operating models and the integration of all vehicle, driver and service-related processes in a common solution. This enables companies and organizations to further develop transport networks - from human-driven operations to autonomous shuttles.

From Early Pilot Projects to Full Operation

The partners thus want to integrate autonomous mobility into existing transportation systems gradually and with low risk - in line with regulatory requirements, safety standards and the increasing technological maturity. "Benteler Mobility provides the operational and infrastructural foundation required for the reliable operation of autonomous services," explains Tobias Liebelt, CEO of Benteler Mobility. "Together, we are creating a closely interlinked ecosystem that will bring autonomous mobility to real traffic for the first time." (se)
