This step is the start of the industrialisation phase. For the first time, a roboshuttle with Mobileye technology will be produced in Europe on a large scale. The vehicles are part of the MOIA Turnkey Solution, an integrated overall solution that bundles vehicles, autonomous driving systems, software-based fleet control and operator services for autonomous mobility services in cities.
Over the course of the year, pre-series production at the Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge Hannover plant will be ramped up to around 500 vehicles, which are planned for various projects in Europe and the USA.
Incidentally, the self-driving vehicles pass through the same production sections as all non-autonomous ID. Buzz models. An additional production loop is planned for installation of specific components such as the combined roof module with cameras, radar and lidar units as well as the high-performance computer on the front passenger side, the end of which is marked by sensor calibration and commissioning of the respective vehicle.
Series production of the ID. Buzz AD is scheduled to start in 2027.
