It will provide sales, maintenance and support services to clients. The intention is also to develop its European data centre in Luxembourg. Pony.ai hopes to work with local leading mobility partners to introduce its autonomous vehicles to Luxembourg roadways in the coming year. Minister Delles confirmed Luxembourg’s commitment to smart mobility at the signing of the MoU. “The intelligent mobility sector is one of our priorities with regard to the diversification of Luxembourg’s economy. Our aim is to make the Grand Duchy a pioneer in the field of autonomous driving on a European scale,” he said. “As such, I am very pleased with the signature of an MoU with Pony.ai, a leader in autonomous mobility technologies and services. This is an important opportunity to promote the technical expertise of the smart mobility sector in Luxembourg.” Luxinnovation GIE https://t1p.de/74ls Summary Luxemburg: Anziehungspunkt für Mobilitätsinnovatoren Von Lena Martensson, Senior Marketing & Communication Officer, Luxinnovation Aufgrund des attraktiven Geschäftsumfelds in Luxemburg sind zwei führende Unternehmen für autonome Fahrzeuge, Teraki und Pony.ai, dabei, im Rahmen ihrer europäischen Expansionsstrategien neue Niederlassungen in Luxemburg zu eröffnen.
