China's Robobus begins Europe's 1st driverless shuttle service at Zurich

Developed by WeRide, the Robobus can accommodate nine passengers, and it is the first commercial autonomous bus shuttle project at a European airport.

WeRide deployed the Robobus in partnership with Flughafen Zürich AG and Swiss Transit Lab (STL), marking a significant milestone in bringing autonomous mobility solutions to a major European aviation hub. WeRide revealed that at the foot of the Alps, Zurich Airport presents severe challenges to autonomous driving technology due to complex operational environment and climatic conditions. The company claims that the latest step is built on WeRide’s successful European operations, including its recent autonomous shuttle service at Roland-Garros during the 2024 French Open.
