Imagry has partnered with Spanish bus manufacturer UNVI to integrate its AI-based, HD-mapless autonomous driving system into electric buses, with the first 10.3-metre vehicle set for deployment in Germany in Q3 2026. The cooperation combines Imagry’s autonomous driving technology with UNVI’s M3-category electric buses, and UBSI is involved as the vehicle integration, procurement, leasing and lifecycle support partner. The first vehicle resulting from the partnership is a 10.3-metre self-driving electric bus with a fully electric powertrain. Imagry states that integration was completed in less than three months and that the vehicle is pre-certified for WVTA (GSR2). The first deployment is scheduled in Germany during the third quarter of 2026. Imagry’s technology covers perception, motion planning and vehicle control, and operates without HD maps, enabling location-independent driverless operation. The technology is being integrated into UNVI’s electric bus platform for applications including regular public transport services in cities and towns and operations within areas such as airports, medical centres and university campuses. UNVI said the initial project involves a complete electric bus solution, while the cooperation can also cover integration into different UNVI body configurations. UBSI supplied the vehicle and acts as the strategic partner for regulatory compliance, technical readiness, fleet deployment and operational support. Imagry identifies public transportation operators and public transit authorities among target users.
