\u201cHolon\u2019s decision to choose Jacksonville is not just a vote of confidence in our city\u2019s business environment; it is a clear recognition of our shared vision for a smart, safer and more connected world,\u201d JTA CEO Nathaniel Ford said. <\/p>\n

We told you back in April when JTA\u2019s board approved the purchase of 100 new autonomous shuttles from Holon<\/b><\/a>. <\/p>\n

JTA confirmed Monday that 14 have already been ordered while the remaining 86 still need to be ordered and authorized by the board at a later date. Ford said the agreement is a big deal for the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is much more than a facility, it\u2019s a bold step into the future,\u201d Ford said.<\/p>\n

Holon\u2019s CFO Clemens Rengier said Jacksonville\u2019s location provides the company with a strategic advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith robust highway infrastructure, strong rail connections and a world class port, the city gives us the ability to ship vehicles globally and efficiently manage our operations,\u201d Rengier said.<\/p>\n

Holon said it expects to deliver their first shuttles by the end of 2027 to Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Coming up next week, JTA is set to answer tough questions from Duval DOGE <\/b><\/a>about the Ultimate Urban Circulator, the expansion of JTA\u2019s autonomous vehicles project that would eventually remodel the Skyway.<\/p>\n
