GreenPower Motor Company Inc. together with Perrone Robotics announced their Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement. Under this new agreement, the two companies will continue to build on the success of the original AV Star developed for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) in 2019. The original AV Star was developed to meet a growing demand in the transit and transportation sector where reliable mobility was a requirement to expand accessibility options for all end-users. Once deployed in 2019, the JTA AV Star became the nation's first fully autonomous, all electric, ADA-compliant, and FMVSS certified vehicle. The base EV Star vehicle is also Altoona tested and Buy America compliant. With the success of this project, GreenPower and Perrone Robotics have come together to deliver the next generation of the AV Star. Through this OEM agreement, GreenPower'sEV Star, a multi-purpose, zero-emission, min-E Bus will be upfitted with Perrone's TONY? (short for "To Navigate You") autonomous vehicle retrofit kit, which will transform the EV Star to the AV Star. Built on the same highly rated chassis as the EV Star and combined with Perrone's reliable autonomous vehicle platform, makes the AV star one of the most transit ready vehicles capable of autonomy in the market.
