The Municipality of Gdansk is a partner in the consortium of the Sohjoa Last Mile project, which is an extension of the Sohjoa Baltic regular stage project. Both projects received funding from the Interreg Baltic Sea Region program.
The preparation for the fully driverless autonomous bus pilot in Gdansk started in January 2021. The local project leader liaised with potential service providers across Europe e.g. with companies known to the partner since the first pilot preparation and thanks to knowledge exchange within the Sohjoa Last Mile consortium. Simultaneously the local project coordinator consulted more experienced project partners to collate technical specifications of the bus, teleoperation etc.
