雷诺EZ-PRO开启快递物流新模式

Deliveries of the future could land on your doorstep in robo-pods if a concept design unveiled by French automaker Renault comes to fruition.

Its EZ-PRO electric vehicle is a fully customizable*, automated lightweight van designed to overcome the last-mile delivery problem.

The all-electric carriage could also serve as a versatile* vehicle for customers as well.

Fleets of the driverless pods can serve as everything from a coffee truck to a delivery van and can either follow each other by platooning in a chain or can move independently of one another.

The leader pod will house a human concierge* in charge of supervising the delivery of goods and the fleet following behind the pod. Inside this self-driving pod is an office-like cab where the concierge can catch up on any paperwork.

Renault unveiled its concept for the future of light commercial vehicles at the Hannover Motor Show.

The lead pods are separated into two areas, one half designed for the comfort of the concierge traveling in the vehicle, while the other is optimized* for storing goods and packages. Additional pods chained into the convoy are purely designed for carrying cargo.

When the pods are set to the autonomous* mode, the concierge is able to focus on other tasks inside the moving office.(SD-Agencies)
