Self-driving shuttles in Norway: How Oslo will deploy MOIA's autonomous ID. Buzz from 2026.
The collaboration marks a new chapter for on-demand mobility in the Groruddalen region. Ruter anchors the project in its long-term mobility strategy, Holo brings experience from autonomous test fields in Scandinavia, and MOIA delivers a package consisting of shuttle, software platform and app. The three partners aim to gain insights that will later flow into the city's traffic planning.
MOIA's vehicles are designed for shared mobility forms. Cameras, radar and Lidar provide a continuous 360-degree surround view of the surroundings; high-performance computers process the data in real time. The cabin is more akin to a small lounge than to a classic shuttle. A passenger management system takes over everyday tasks that drivers today perform: from check-in to monitoring the interior. Access via a wide sliding door is intended to facilitate boarding. In conjunction with the booking app, a service is created that should integrate seamlessly into the city's transport offerings.
Learning under real-world traffic conditions
At Ruter, they see in it an opportunity to show people in Groruddalen what urban mobility service could look like in the future. CEO Bernt Reitan Jenssen speaks of a development that changes the customer experience. Holo CEO Stefan Krogh-Hansen points to the almost ten years of preparation during which his company has built processes, systems and deployment concepts. Now it is time to continue learning under real conditions. MOIA CEO Sascha Meyer sees in Oslo a test field that is particularly suitable due to climate, transport policy and topographical diversity.
“We are proud to work together with Ruter and Holo on this pioneering project. Together we will create a blueprint for integrating autonomous mobility into public transport: with a European solution that contributes to the common good of Europe. Oslo, with its ambitious climate goals, progressive transport policies and variable weather conditions, is an ideal environment for the introduction of sustainable mobility solutions,” says Sascha Meyer, CEO of MOIA.
Experiences from Hamburg form the core
For MOIA, the project is also a building block of its own European strategy. The company combines autonomous vehicles, a digital platform and operational services into a market-ready total offering. Experiences from Hamburg form the core of the concept. Further partnerships in Berlin and Hamburg as well as test activities in Munich, Austin and Los Angeles are intended to prepare the transition to driverless fleets. In 2027 MOIA aims to obtain EU type approval for the self-driving ID. Buzz.
"We are very pleased to introduce specially developed, self-driving vehicles that bring us a significant step closer to a fully scalable autonomous public transport system. For almost a decade, Holo has built expertise, systems and operational know-how to prepare for this moment. Together with MOIA and Ruter, we can now further develop the technology in real city operations and gather the insights necessary for autonomous mobility to become a reliable service for everyday passengers in the future," says Stefan Krogh-Hansen, CEO of Holo.
Goal: fewer private vehicles and fewer emissions
Oslo pursues ambitious goals: fewer private cars, lower emissions, and a more flexible public transport system. The municipal policy is betting on new services to close the gap between traditional local transport and individual mobility. A city study outlines how traffic could be reduced if around 30,000 autonomous vehicles were integrated into the existing network.
„This is incredibly exciting – for us and for the residents of the Groruddalen region. The collaboration with MOIA enables us to use vehicles and technology that have been specifically developed for shared mobility, rather than solutions adapted from private vehicles. This lifts both the project and the customer experience to a new level and gives our passengers an even clearer sense of the future mobility service we are developing here,“ says Bernt Reitan Jenssen, CEO of Ruter.
Since 2023, Ruter and Holo have already been testing an on-demand autonomous transport service in Groruddalen. The pilot project is embedded in the EU consortium ULTIMO, which investigates technologies and deployment models for autonomous mobility. The partners see the upcoming MOIA launch as a logical continuation of this work. Now it remains to be seen how autonomous shuttles will fare in the daily life of a growing city.
