Second-generation prototype #Honda Autonomous Work Vehicles (AWV) successfully performed a range of functions at large-scale solar energy construction site
Black & Veatch operated the #Honda AWVs and validated their performance and suitability in several construction use cases
Honda AWV is expected to be capable of performing a wide range of services for industries that need a rugged off-road autonomous solution
Honda and Black & Veatch have successfully tested the prototype #Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) at a Black & Veatch construction site in New Mexico. During the month-long field #test, the second-generation prototype of the fully-electric #Honda AWV performed a range of functions at a large-scale solar energy construction project, including towing activities and transporting construction materials, water, and other supplies to pre-set destinations within the work site. Watch a video of the #Honda AWV at https://Honda.us/AWV.

While #Honda previously performed testing with an earlier generation of the #Honda AWV, this field #test was the first to deploy multiple units working collaboratively to support construction use cases.

First introduced as a concept at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, the #Honda AWV combines the company’s rugged and durable off-road side-by-side platform with emerging advanced autonomous technology. The result is a new category of capable work vehicle that can be deployed in a variety of dynamic work environments. The #Honda AWV employs a suite of sensors to operate autonomously, using GPS for location, radar and lidar for obstacle detection and stereoscopic (3D) cameras for remote monitoring. The vehicle also can be operated by remote control.

Black & Veatch, a global engineering, procurement and construction company focused on construction optimization and technology innovation collaborated with #Honda to provide a real-world testing ground to validate the #Honda AWV technology at an active construction site. The company’s personnel were trained by Honda’s engineers on the operation and safety protocols of the vehicles to effectively use the technology in the field. Black & Veatch provided detailed feedback for product and business requirements that will help enhance the #Honda AWV’s capabilities and services.
