Mobility Hubs & Infrastructure

Building the infrastructure that makes autonomous mobility possible.

Autonomous vehicles need more than software. Every fleet depends on places to charge, clean, inspect and prepare vehicles — and on reliable energy to power them. AMUK is planning the regional mobility hubs and energy infrastructure that commercial deployment requires.

Regional mobility hubs

The operational base for autonomous fleets

A regional mobility hub is the operational base for autonomous fleets in an area. Hubs could bring together charging, inspection, cleaning, servicing and fleet coordination — designed from the outset to support more than one fleet and more than one technology.

Shared infrastructure reduces duplicated investment, improves utilisation and gives each new deployment a faster, lower-risk route to service.

A single hub could serve several autonomous fleets, bringing vehicle turnaround, energy and coordination together on one site.

Energy

  • Grid connection & energy management
  • Potential solar & battery storage

Shared capacity

Space for compatible third-party fleets

Operational coordination across every fleet and service on site

Higher utilisation

Serving several fleets from one site could keep chargers, bays and staff in more consistent use.

Diversified revenue

Charging, servicing and capacity services for multiple operators could reduce reliance on any single fleet.

Efficient capital deployment

Shared infrastructure could avoid duplicated investment as new fleets and technologies enter a region.

These are commercial objectives of the multi-provider model, not guaranteed outcomes.

Vehicle turnaround

From arrival to ready for dispatch

A consistent, well-managed turnaround keeps vehicles safe, clean and available. Maintenance checks are risk-based — not every turnaround requires workshop maintenance.

Energy infrastructure

Reliable power for electric autonomous fleets

Energy is one of the most important constraints on fleet deployment. Each hub would be planned around a combination of the following, subject to site feasibility.

Grid connection

Securing appropriate grid capacity early in site planning.

Load management

Balancing demand across the site to avoid unnecessary peaks.

Charging optimisation

Scheduling charging around fleet demand, tariffs and vehicle availability.

On-site solar

Generating renewable energy where roof and land space allow.

Battery storage

Storing energy to support resilience and reduce peak grid demand.

Multi-operator capacity

Designed to serve more than one fleet

Hubs are intended to include separately managed capacity for other autonomous operators, so that multiple technologies and service providers can share core infrastructure while keeping their operations distinct.

Commercial infrastructure

Infrastructure with multiple potential revenue streams

  • Charging and energy services
  • Vehicle servicing and turnaround
  • Facility and parking capacity
  • Contracted fleet support for third-party operators

Potential revenue categories only. No forecasts are implied.

Scalable development

Sized to each region

Hub size and layout will vary according to passenger demand, fleet size, geography, available power and land. Sites can be developed in phases as services grow.
