3D-printed electric shuttle bus put to the test in Concord

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority is working with the American Automobile Association to test a self-driving shuttle at the GoMentum Station at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.

The shuttle, a 3D-printed electric vehicle called “Olli,” is capable of carrying eight seated passengers. It has a maximum range of 25 to 40 miles and a maximum speed of 25 mph. Transit officials plan to put it through a series of testing scenarios like negotiating intersections, interacting with pedestrians and going through tunnels along more than 20 miles of roadway at the East Bay facility.
