Arrival, der Fahrzeughersteller mit einem neuen Ansatz zur Konstruktion und Montage von Elektrofahrzeugen, nutzt Software von HERE Technologies, der Plattform für ortsbezogene Daten und Technologie, für seine Navigationslösung.
Bereits seit 2015 entwickelt Arrival eigene proprietäre Hardware, Software und Robotik. Diese Technologien ermöglichen die Produktion von E-Fahrzeugen in einzigartigen Mikrofabriken. Sie benötigen wenig Platz und Ressourcen, haben geringe Investitionskosten und sind lokal verteilt, um die Gemeinden vor Ort zu versorgen. Elektrofahrzeuge profitieren von vorhersehbaren Routen und dem nächtlichen Aufladen im Depot und fügen sich nahtlos in kommerzielle Flotten ein. Mit dem durch die Corona-Pandemie weiter beschleunigten Aufstieg des E-Commerce und der steigenden Nachfrage nach Lieferungen am selben Tag der Bestellung wird erwartet, dass der Markt für kommerzielle Flotten weltweit weiter wachsen wird. Angesichts der dringenden Notwendigkeit, den CO2-Ausstoß zu reduzieren, bietet das integrierte Transport-Ökosystem von Arrival Städten und Unternehmen die Möglichkeit, ihre Nachhaltigkeitsziele zu erreichen.
Das Software Development Kit (SDK) von HERE geht weit über Standardfunktionalitäten von Kartendarstellung, Routenberechnung und Suche hinaus. Es bietet neben Echtzeitinformationen zur Position von mobilen Objekten auch Offline-Funktionen zur Routenberechnung, Standortsuche und Navigation. Das hochkomprimierte Datenformat bietet schnelle Upload-Zeiten und ein nahtloses Nutzererlebnis, das durch die Einbindung persönlicher sogenannter Points of Interests (POIs) individuell anpassbar ist.
„Nach einem umfassenden Benchmarking-Prozess kamen wir zu dem Schluss, dass das Navigations-SDK von HERE eines der besten auf dem Markt ist. Das SDK besticht durch die Qualität der ortsbezogenen Daten in Verbindung mit der Flexibilität für individuelle Anpassungen. Das macht HERE zum perfekten Partner für uns. Daher freuen wir uns, den Fahrern von Arrival-Fahrzeugen die beste Technologie zur Verfügung zu stellen, um ihre Arbeit komfortabel und effizient zu erledigen“, sagte Valentin Anisimov, HMI System Lead in Technology bei Arrival.
„Wir sind sehr stolz darauf, mit Arrival zusammenzuarbeiten, um emissionsfreien Transport anzugehen – eine der wichtigsten Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Mit dem HERE SDK kann Arrival seinen Fahrern nun ein erstklassiges Navigationserlebnis bieten. Wir freuen uns darauf, Arrival bei der Verwirklichung seines Ziels zu unterstützen, Städte sauberer und Lieferungen schneller zu machen“, sagt Knuth Sexauer, Vice President, Automotive bei HERE Technologies.
Gemeinsam können Arrival und HERE die Leistung von elektrisch betriebenen kommerziellen Flotten zu verbessern und dadurch einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leisten.
