About the Verne brand
Verne is an emerging autonomous electric vehicle brand co-founded by the Spanish mobility startup Cabify and engineering firm Basquevolt, representing a bold leap into sustainable, driverless urban transportation. The brand is named after the visionary author Jules Verne, symbolizing exploration, innovation, and the future of mobility. Verne's mission is to revolutionize shared urban travel through purpose-built autonomous EVs designed specifically for ride-hailing and on-demand mobility services, rather than repurposing existing passenger cars. This ground-up approach allows Verne to optimize safety, efficiency, and passenger comfort while reducing congestion and emissions in dense metropolitan areas.
The first production model, the Verne Autonomous EV Pod, is a compact, fully electric vehicle engineered for urban deployment within controlled operational domains (geo-fenced environments). It incorporates Level 4 autonomous driving capability powered by a suite of lidar, radar, and camera sensors integrated with AI-based perception and decision systems. The vehicle's interior is designed around passenger experience—featuring a lounge-style cabin, configurable lighting, touch interfaces, and seamless app-based control. With no steering wheel or pedals, every aspect of the design prioritizes passenger space and digital interaction, marking a clean break from conventional automotive layouts.
Energy efficiency and sustainability are central to Verne's platform philosophy. The vehicles are equipped with modular battery systems that support rapid charging and swappable configurations for continuous fleet operation. Manufacturing is being localized in Spain, leveraging European supply chains for batteries and electronics, with Basquevolt contributing its expertise in next-generation solid-state battery technology. This European manufacturing base allows Verne to align with the EU's Green Deal objectives and emerging regulations for zero-emission urban mobility zones.
Beyond vehicles, Verne's broader ecosystem integrates fleet management, AI-driven dispatch algorithms, and mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms. The brand plans to deploy its autonomous fleets initially in Spain and select Latin American cities where Cabify operates, before expanding to other European markets. By merging clean energy, autonomy, and digital mobility infrastructure, Verne represents the convergence of transportation and technology that defines the Fifth Industrial Revolution—creating intelligent, sustainable, and human-centered urban mobility experiences.
