Clevon selects T-Mobile to strengthen autonomous robot fleet
Clevon, an Estonian-based technology company, has selected T-Mobile as its preferred provider for IoT connectivity and management in the U.S. Clevon will rely on T-Mobile’s network and IoT solutions to help power reliable and safe fleet operations for on-demand driverless delivery services.
Global businesses considering T-Mobile IoT to connect and manage autonomous carriers, robots and devices – and businesses looking for affordable and environmentally sustainable last-mile delivery services.
Clevon named T-Mobile as the preferred connectivity provider for its fleet of autonomous robot carriers (ARCs) in the United States. Under the long-term deal, T-Mobile will provide IoT solutions for Clevon’s latest ARC – the all-electric, multifunctional CLEVON 1.
“Today marks a significant milestone for Clevon,” says Sander Sebastian Agur, CEO, Clevon. “By choosing T-Mobile, we are partnering with a best-in-class wireless provider that will enable us to scale our mission to deliver the most reliable, safe and efficient autonomous delivery platform. Together, we can make the promise of autonomous last-mile commercial deliveries in the U.S. a reality today.”
“The last-mile delivery market is expected to grow almost five times to [$57 billion (€51.90 billion)] in the next six years, so it’s thrilling to work with Clevon, one of the industry’s pioneers,” says Callie Field, president, T-Mobile Business Group. “The significant work we’re doing together demonstrates a shared passion and responsibility for improving lives, safety and the environment.”
The CLEVON 1 is designed to collect orders at warehouses, retail stores, dark stores and micro fulfillment centres and then deliver those goods to consumers and businesses. The CLEVON 1 can serve up to six destinations in a single trip. Now, with T-Mobile, Clevon will be able to:
- Reduce the time it takes to prepare commercial services, via mapping and routing – from months, to just days
- Increase accuracy for customers when initiating pickups and drop-offs in new communities
- Leverage T-Mobile IoT to support its autonomous driving and remote operations capabilities
This announcement reinforces Clevon’s continued growth trajectory and business momentum in the U.S. This includes the launch of its North American Center of Excellence in Fort Worth, Texas and its initial North American autonomous delivery with the CLEVON 1 at the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ).
