The electric drive with an asynchronous motor is fed by a lithium iron phosphate accumulator with a voltage of 48 V, the capacity of which is specified as 8 kWh. When fully loaded, the EZ10 weighs 2750 kg. The chassis is made of aluminum . The EZ10 has four 15-inch wheels. The maximum speed is 40 km / h. The maximum travel time is 14 hours.
electronics
The electronic equipment consists of:
- On-board cameras

- GPS - tracking system
- SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping)
The combination of these systems enables autonomous driving without external aids such as rails, special lanes, metal wires in the lane or delineator posts.
Test drives and production
The EZ10 is produced in small series. Test drives took place in North America and Western Europe from 2015–2017. The minibus was also tested in Germany - including Darmstadt . The first officially approved journeys in Germany have been taking place in Bad Birnbach since October 25, 2017, bringing six passengers plus a safety officer from the town center to the thermal bath, a distance of 700 m, on behalf of Deutsche Bahn. The speed of travel is no more than 15 km / h and a driver is on board so that he can intervene if necessary.
The EZ10 is being built in Toulouse , France . So far a series of 40 pieces has been realized. A second series of 70 pieces is in progress. The vehicle has been tested at more than 60 locations worldwide since 2015.

On December 17, 2018, MyShuttle , a joint pilot project between SBB , Mobility , Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe , Stadt Zug and the Zug Technology Cluster , received the license plate from DETEC and can therefore officially participate in road traffic . If everything goes well, the system will be tested by a closed user group consisting of V-Zug employees by the end of 2019 . If successful, the system will then be integrated into local public transport .
