A Word From Our CEO
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

Steven Lake
CEO EVIE Autonomous
With one hand on the engine, and the other on the steering wheel, I achieved success as both an engineer and a motorsport racer, and this developed into a love of pushing the limits which inspired me to lead a Tier 1 Automotive supply chain partnership with major blue-chip OEMs.
We now have over two decades of experience in designing and manufacturing software, hardware, firmware, and product development. We invest time in ideas and people, keeping our standards high to ensure we are on the winning team. Relevance and timing in the market are vital. We have spent the past 5 years perfecting our autonomous technologies and refining the AI to ensure that we are ready. Now is the time to harness this investment to deliver world-class automation, robotics and AI into off-highway environments, ultimately improving productivity, profitability, and safety across multiple sectors.

Why EVIE?
The Future of Electric, Autonomous Transportation
EVIE Autonomous is a UK-based, globally recognised innovation and design technology company with a range of solutions that are changing the future of transportation. We offer proven, reliable, AI, robotics and autonomous technologies that can be easily installed on any target vehicle, along with our own universally scalable, autonomous modular electric vehicle platform for a variety of applications, providing endless opportunities including first-mile and last-mile delivery, people transportation, cargo transport, and machine operations.
We are currently the world’s most proven autonomous pod. Learning from this, we are building the EVIE 2.0 Shuttle product range around a scalable modular autonomous electric platform with endless industrial applications. It is forecast to be a masterpiece of engineering and design, seamlessly integrating form, function, and technology to create the most affordable, reliable and adaptable platform available.

Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver affordable, proven autonomous solutions for industries, improving productivity and safety.
Our autonomous vehicles are developed and proven across multiple major vehicle types within vital industries such as agritech, airside, portside, logistics, and the possibilities this technology holds are truly endless.

Our Vision
We estimate that by 2025 we will finalise production processes and complete further trials with level 4 mules in industries such as airside, portside, and other industrial settings.
We are no strangers to a challenge, and we are determined individuals ready to push limits and complete a future-proof range of super-efficient vehicles for industrial off-highway and light rail alternative applications.

Our Sustainability Guarantee
Sustainability has always been very important to us and continues to be a huge factor in our future plans, in addition to our EVIE pods, we have identified a considerable opportunity to help construction, mining and farming become more efficient by providing vehicles that can perform operations without the need for human operators.
This extends operating hours, productivity, and profitability. Human labour can in turn be redirected to perform other tasks. Worldwide, we face a range of challenges in regard to skilled operators, fuel, and cost pressures, especially in these sectors. We believe that we are on the cusp of a step change in industry which will be driven by autonomy, robotics and AI and EVIE will be at the forefront of this.
Our approach to autonomous vehicles was no different to anything we have faced before, we identified the areas where we could make the biggest differences. We then went about implementing them without distraction to achieve something completely new and innovative.
In order to gain the complete, necessary understanding of what worked and what didn’t, and also to ensure seamless integration, we decided to create as many of the components as possible, working alongside our parent company. Whilst taking more time initially, we reaped the rewards time and again throughout the process resulting in a fully autonomous end-to-end solution.
Teamed with our EVIE pods, we have created the perfect driverless transport solution.
At EVIE, we move people and goods autonomously
With our team’s extensive experience in creating and implementing electronic control systems, we are confident that EVIE Autonomous is the perfect solution for your transportation needs. We are already working with our sister companies to deploy fully autonomous pods in real-world operation environments, demonstrations, and events.
The EVIE shuttles have moved over 6.3 million passengers at London Heathrow since 2010 making it the world’s most proven pod. The shuttles and assets were acquired in Oct 2022 and Evie Autonomous was created.
The shuttles have now been upgraded with Cavonix’s latest autonomy stack, enabling the pods to operate outside of a guideway. This provides endless possibilities.
Evie is now evolving the shuttles to move both people and cargo in controlled off-highway environments.
If you are looking for a partner to help you grow your business, EVIE Autonomous is the perfect choice. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your transportation goals.
We provide total integration and control of the design & supply chain.
