American Honda Motor Company is giving the public a first glimpse of its latest generation WALL-E Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) prototype before it debuts at CONEXPO 2023 in Las Vegas. The AWV was designed to support worksite efficiencies in the construction industry and can haul up to 2,000 pounds with zero emissions. Honda has made significant improvements to the EV based on the field testing of its predecessor, and now seeks new construction companies to put its new prototype to the test.
The third-generation AWV features an increased bed size, higher speed in autonomous mode, larger battery size and longer operating time, enhanced avoidance functions for other vehicles stopped on road, and a lower bed for easier loading and improved ergonomics. It can travel 28 miles fully loaded and operate autonomously or manually via remote control through rugged terrain like construction sites.
At CONEXPO 2023, Honda will seek new partners to help commercialize the Autonomous Work Vehicle and establish sales, support, and distribution. The company believes the AWV can be a valuable solution to supporting construction teams while also enhancing worksite efficiencies and safety.
To get a better understanding of the AWV’s capabilities, Honda has released a demonstration video that shows the vehicle in action. Check it out to see how the AWV can help improve worksite efficiency and safety.
