Honda has revealed its prototype Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) to improve construction industry and worksite efficiencies.

The fully programmable all-electric Honda AWV leverages the company’s emerging advanced autonomous technology to create a rugged off-road work vehicle that is designed to support construction-related activities and enhance workforce productivity.

With the ability to operate autonomously or manually via remote control  the Honda AWV could provide a wide range of services to industries that need autonomous operation or delivery solutions, especially where workforce constraints make other solutions impractical. The company is also exploring the development of attachments and tools that could make the vehicle a suitable platform for many work environments.

The company successfully field tested the second-generation Honda AWV at a large-scale solar construction site in the Southwest U.S. Based on real-world testing, the company is now introducing the third-generation Honda AWV which features a number of enhancements.

Key features of the third-generation Honda AWV include increased bed size to 2 pallets and greater loading capacity of 2000 pounds, improved navigation in locations where GNSS (global navigation satellite system) service is weak or unavailable through the use of LiDAR sensors, simplified tablet-based programming interface and cloud connectivity, higher speed in autonomous mode – up to 10 miles per hour (mph), increased battery size and longer operating time of up to 10 hours, enhanced avoidance function for vehicles stopped on road and lower bed for easier loading and improved ergonomics

The Honda AWV employs a suite of sensors to operate autonomously, using GPS for location, radar and lidar for obstacle detection and cameras for remote monitoring.

Previous field tests have also successfully verified that multiple Honda AWVs can transport and deliver construction materials and supplies at precise points along a pre-set route. The vehicle leverages Honda’s extensive portfolio of mobility technologies, using common components from its automobiles and other products.
