Honda debuted its third-generation Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) this week and it has several new capabilities including increased pallet / payload capacity as well as enhanced obstacle detection. This fully programmable all-electric AWV leverages Honda’s emerging advanced autonomous technology to create a rugged off-road work vehicle that is designed for construction-related activities and enhancing workforce productivity.
This prototype was tested at a large-scale solar construction site in the Southwest U.S., and its greater loading capacity of 2000 pounds definitely came in handy. Other features include improved navigation via LiDAR in locations where GNSS (global navigation satellite system) service is weak or unavailable, a simplified tablet-based programming interface with cloud connectivity, higher speed in autonomous mode (10mph), and longer operating time of up to 10 hours. You can see it in person at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas, March 14-18, 2023.

As we continue to advance the Honda AWV platform, we want to meet with potential business partners and companies at CONEXPO that are interested in field testing the vehicle at their worksite. We believe the Honda AWV can be a valuable solution to supporting construction teams while also enhancing worksite efficiencies and safety. Leveraging Honda’s decades of experience developing reliable, safe and clean mobility technology, we aim to address issues such as labor shortages and improved environmental performance,” said Jason VanBuren, systems engineering manager at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
