Construction of HOLON’s Autonomous Shuttle Manufacturing Facility in Jacksonville

Project Overview

Hold onto your hats, transport enthusiasts! HOLON’s bringing their electric shuttle game to Jacksonville, Florida. It’s not just big news for them – it’s Florida’s first rodeo in the car-making world!

So, VanTrust Real Estate is building a massive Autonomous Shuttle Manufacturing Facility in Jacksonville – we’re talking 500,000 square feet of robot-making factory. They’re aiming to cut the ribbon by 2026, which isn’t too far off in the world of big construction projects. This isn’t just any old factory, though. It’s where HOLON plans to churn out their fancy self-driving shuttles. But here’s the kicker – these aren’t just cool toys. HOLON’s trying to solve some pretty big problems with these high-tech rides. They’re hoping to unclog city streets, give Mother Nature a break from all that car exhaust, and keep up with our ever-changing cities. It’s like they’re building the Swiss Army knife of transportation – eco-friendly, traffic-busting, and ready for whatever curveballs our growing cities throw at us.

Henning von Watdorf’s practically doing cartwheels over this milestone. The U.S. is rolling out the red carpet for autonomous vehicles, and Jacksonville’s jumping on the bandwagon with both feet. He’s tipping his hat to everyone who helped make this wild dream come true.

The autonomous vehicle by HOLON created for use on roads establishes new standards in safety and comfort while ensuring high production quality standards are met. It has a speed of 37 mph and the ability to accommodate up to 15 passengers making it suitable for a range of uses such as ride pooling services and scheduled transit operations. The company is, in the process of developing the vehicle to comply with regulations including Buy America and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for the upcoming

Petr Marijczuk, COO of HOLON, added, “Establishing our first U.S. manufacturing plant in Jacksonville is a milestone for HOLON and the global autonomous vehicle industry. After an initial ramp-up phase, we anticipate creating up to 150 jobs by 2027. HOLON’s Autonomous Shuttle Manufacturing Facility in Jacksonville will produce about 5,000 autonomous movers annually, expediting their availability and market reach.”

Marc Munago, Executive Vice President of VanTrust, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “VanTrust is excited to collaborate with HOLON and JAXUSA on this transformative opportunity.”

HOLON’s not going solo on this adventure. They’ve buddied up with Benteler Mobility to handle the sales hustle, while Beep’s bringing the tech wizardry to keep these futuristic pods running smoothly in the real world.

Petr Marijczuk reiterated, “Our Jacksonville facility will produce approximately 5,000 autonomous movers annually, enhancing the accessibility and global reach of our pioneering technology.”
