Pininfarina, the renowned Italian design firm known for its sleek sports car designs, has joined forces with Benteler-owned Holon to introduce the Mover, an autonomous electric shuttle shaped like a toaster. The Mover was unveiled at the CES 2023 event and is intended for use in urban areas as a convenient method of transportation for small groups of people.

The Mover is powered by Mobileye's Drive suite of Level 4 autonomous technology, which includes redundant sensors, a unique mapping technology, and a specific driving policy model, according to Holon. In addition to its functional capabilities, the Mover also boasts an eye-catching asymmetrical exterior design reminiscent of the Nissan Cube, with round headlights and stylish wheels. Inside, the Mover can accommodate up to 15 passengers.

Holon aims to differentiate the Mover from other self-driving shuttles on the market by implementing a pilot program in Hamburg, Germany, in partnership with Hamburger Hochbahn, the company responsible for managing the majority of the city's public transportation system. Although no specific timeline has been announced, the Mover is expected to eventually be deployed on Hamburg's roads. In the United States, autonomous shuttle company Beep will oversee the roll-out of the Mover, though no further details have been provided.

Holon plans to begin production of the Mover in the United States in 2025, with the possibility of additional manufacturing facilities being established in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to serve international markets. The company also emphasized the versatility of the Mover's platform, stating that it could be adapted to support the development of other types of autonomous electric vehicles, including those intended for delivery purposes.
