OMEX Germany
Winner in category Mobility
OMEX is an autonomous, modular vehicle system that transports people during the day and goods at night, designed for public transport and logistics. It uses ISO-container standards for an automated, crane-free module changing system. The chassis can be lowered for easy, barrier-free access. Sustainability comes from using one vehicle type for multiple tasks (increasing resource efficiency), reduced development/material needs, and easy repair due to modular components, which extends the vehicle's lifespan.
“OMEX” is a charming and imaginative concept that combines public transportation and freight transport. Even though the modular front and rear components - similar to Lego pieces - seem technically difficult to implement, the vision is compelling: an autonomous vehicle that serves as public transportation by day and transports containers by night. A forward-thinking, efficient, and fun idea.
