ULTIMO: Overcoming Deployment Barriers For Automated Mobility in Europe
The ULTIMO project is hosting a workshop “Overcoming Deployment Barriers for Automated Mobility in Europe” on 16 June 2025 from 15:30 – 17:30 during the UITP Summit 2025 in Hamburg (Germany).
The ULTIMO project aims to deploy economically sustainable, large-scale, and on-demand automated vehicle operations in public transport. As the latest in a series of EU-funded CCAM demonstration projects, ULTIMO has generated significant experience and learning on the challenges of deploying CCAM services in a public transport context. With advancements in technology emerging on the market and expectations that CCAM services will scale up towards sustainability, this side event will capture the learnings from ULTIMO and similar initiatives, and consider how obstacles to CCAM deployment in Europe can be addressed.
