Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle Prototype Demonstrated

Honda has demonstrated its Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) at the Toronto Pearson Airport. The fully-electric prototype engaged in airfield operations at airport worksites. It conducted perimeter fence inspections, showing how the Honda AWV could be used to address challenges of labor shortages and safety while offering emissions reductions in airfield operations.

The demonstration was conducted in collaboration with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, Cisco Canada, Genwave Technologies, Illuminex AI, and Eagle Aerospace. The concept AWV was first introduced in 2018 at the Consumer Electronics Show.

“Our Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle has been verified to help improve worksite efficiencies and safety through previous field tests, so we’re ready to move to the next stage of exploring real world applications with airfield operators. As we work toward commercializing the Honda AWV, we want to understand the needs of airfield operators and airport authorities to create new value by streamlining operations, enhancing safety performance and helping to meet airfield environmental sustainability goals.” –Jason VanBuren, systems engineering manager at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
