Autonomic Partners with Ayro to Bring Cloud Connectivity to Compact Electric Vehicles


Palo Alto, Calif. – WEBWIRE

Autonomic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Smart Mobility and creators of the Transportation Mobility Cloud (TMC), today announces a strategic partnership with Ayro, Inc. a designer and manufacturer of emissions-free, electric light-duty vehicles for commercial and consumer markets. This is the first major partnership between a cloud platform and a maker of compact electric vehicles and together the companies will develop a range of services to enable mobility applications for Ayro’s line of vehicles which power everything from moving products and equipment to people and last-mile delivery services.  

Over two million electric vehicles were sold last year and there are expected to be 25 million sold in 2025. This growth has been driven by the demand for efficient and sustainable transportation solutions and the need for alternative mobility modes to combat congestion. Yet adoption of electric vehicles beyond passenger vehicles for businesses and fleet operators remains dependent not just on the cost-effectiveness, but also the ability to integrate seamlessly with fleet telematics software that enables businesses to operate efficiently. 

“At Autonomic, we designed our platform to accelerate the progress of connected vehicles and it’s a privilege to work with Ayro, one of the most visionary EV companies on the market,” said Gavin Sherry, co-founder and CEO of Autonomic. “Already, they’re poised for incredible growth and our Transportation Mobility Cloud will accelerate that.”
 
To expand the capabilities of clean-energy vehicles for businesses and fleet operators, Ayro, which creates a fleet of compact vehicles, including the soon-to-be launched AYRO 311x, that have a range of up to 85 miles and can recharge with either a 240V outlet within up to 3.5 hours or a standard 110V (20A) outlet within up to 6 to 8 hours, is leveraging Autonomic’s TMC to create new applications and services which include: 

  • Two-way data and telematic exchanges for Ayro’s fleet customers and individual users
  • Geo-location tools for proximity-based communications for business partners, restaurants and shops
  • Services to monitor use rates, deployment efficiency, fleet and vehicle performance, advanced maintenance and service levels for fleet operators
  • Real-time feedback for range, maintenance, and available services for drivers


Along with the new applications and services, Ayro’s use of the TMC scales with the data and computing resources of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable application connectivity and provide a platform for future innovation. 
 
The TMC is the leading transportation and mobility platform for connected vehicles, connecting diverse elements of urban mobility systems with the goal of orchestrating a safer, more efficient and sustainable transportation network. With the TMC, Autonomic delivers a flexible and secure platform that provides automakers and other developers the building blocks necessary for connected mobility applications ranging from car routing and management of large-scale fleets to transit planning and more.
 
“We’re excited to partner with the Autonomic team to develop custom apps and services that will maximize our fleet owners’ management abilities along with a unique user experience,” said Rod Keller, Ayro, Inc. CEO.  “Autonomic’s experience with cloud-based transportation applications is a tremendous asset for Ayro as we develop the finest user experiences for our customers.”

This news comes on the heels of Autonomic’s multi-year, global agreement with AWS to expand the availability of cloud connectivity services and connected car application development services for the transportation industry, as well as a joint collaboration with Fujitsu, a leading Japanese information and communication technology company to support the automotive industry’s transformation to mobility-as-a-service models.
