Swiss Startup LOXO Unveils Market-Ready Autonomous Vehicle for Last Mile Delivery

Tech start-up LOXO has unveiled its autonomous vehicle for last mile delivery. Developed and produced in Switzerland, it will be on public roads for the first time in spring 2023.

This will be the first commercial application of an autonomous last mile delivery vehicle in Switzerland. The aim is to roll-out the LOXO Alpha vehicle across Europe.

The vehicle can be used for deliveries from the supplier to the end consumer or business customer, and it is suitable for hub-to-hub transports.

Amin Amini, co-founder and CEO of LOXO., says: "Thanks to electric propulsion, optimal charging capacity and the autonomous, unmanned driving mode, LOXO increases the efficiency and flexibility of home deliveries. In addition, the carbon footprint is reduced through the principle of shared mobility."

Lara Amini-Rentsch, co-founder and business lead, adds: "LOXO enables scalable, time-independent and high-margin deliveries. Buyers can decide for themselves when they want to receive their order while paying less. Retailers, in turn, can increase their margins. Accordingly, we are convinced that LOXO will revolutionise e-commerce and become the standard for last mile delivery."

"LOXO's USPs include its optimised cargo volume for the European market and its full integration into the customer's IT. It is also the world's first vehicle without rotating sensors", comments Claudio Panizza, CTO. "Instead, the LOXO vehicle is equipped with a unique combination of radar, lidar, sonar, camera, and powerful algorithm. As a result, it detects people and objects in a 360-degree field of view and guarantees maximum safety." 

LOXO has developed an intelligent autonomous delivery vehicle that solves the problems of last mile delivery on both the supplier and customer side.
