In mid-December 2024 Next presented the generation of its modular pod for passenger transportation<\/a>. It will be\u00a0in production starting in 2025\u00a0<\/strong>in the Tecnobus factories, close to Rome. Also the collaboration with Wayla was announced during the same event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next modular pods on a trial with Wayla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the name of modularity, the Next capsules can operate as a single \u2018wagon\u2019 or connect to other modules according to real-time transport demand. During peak hours, the vehicle can connect to other \u2018pods\u2019 to cope with increased demand. During less congested hours, the configuration can adapt to a shorter and lighter trim, optimising energy use and planning for future demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle configuration for Wayla’s fleet will allow the transport of nine seated passengers <\/strong>plus driver. In addition, there will be a 900-litre interior cargo compartment for bags and luggage<\/strong>. The configurations set to be used by Wayla are named Next Vision MaaS and Next Vision Lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next startup is the creator of a three-meter-long module (which\u00a0we tested in the previous version<\/a>) with the aim of revolutionizing the concept of mobility. In the name of\u00a0modularity<\/strong>: the Next capsules can function as a single \u201cwagon\u201d or connect to other modules based on real-time transport demand.
