Clevon, an Estonia-based autonomous delivery innovator, has introduced its commercial service in the United States in partnership with PostNet Northlake. Utilizing state-of-the-art Autonomous Robot Carriers (ARCs), Clevon is now offering delivery services to PostNet customers in Northlake, Texas. After successful testing over the past few weeks, local residents within a few miles of the PostNet office can now have their parcels delivered by the ARC.
PostNet Northlake, which provides mailbox and package handling services for the local community, aims to offer doorstep delivery while ensuring the continued security that residents desire. Clevon has scheduled desired delivery times with each resident and operates from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. As the partnership with PostNet Northlake expands, the ARC delivery services may encompass additional offerings, such as food and grocery deliveries.
Sander Sebastian Agur, Clevon’s chief executive officer, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating, “We are fulfilling our mission to build an infrastructure for making suburban deliveries affordable, safe, and foremost convenient for consumers. Clevon’s ARCs are transforming how goods are transported and delivered locally, leading to greater convenience and less expense, reduced energy consumption, and improved environmental outcomes. This partnership demonstrates how the future of last-mile deliveries can be experienced already today.”
Gary L Good, multi-unit PostNet owner, conveyed enthusiasm about the convenience this partnership brings to the community. He said, “We are excited to offer this convenience to the PostNet Northlake community. With the ARC, our customers who appreciate the secure, centralized receipt of mail and packages for their families and/or businesses can watch the ARC deliver straight to their doors. Moreover, customers who run home-based businesses can streamline their busy days by having the ARC securely retrieve their packages and bring them safely to PostNet Northlake. We want to be the problem solvers for our customers’ pain points, and having the Clevon ARC help us do that is amazing.”
Northlake mayor David Rettig expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “Northlake is thrilled by the recent commercial deployment of Clevon’s technology which will benefit Northlake’s growing retail and restaurant offerings. Clevon is forever changing how goods are transported, and we look forward to seeing additional applications in the future.”
Local partnerships have played a critical role in building a solid foundation for future mobility. Lamar National Bank has been a valuable partner, providing a place for the ARC to rest and recharge after a hard day of serving the Northlake community. Clevon’s U.S. headquarters are at the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ) in Fort Worth, where the company continues to advance its autonomous technology.
Clevon’s expansion into the North American market comes at a time when the demand for on-demand, same-day, or next-day delivery of goods is skyrocketing. The company's driverless robot carriers navigate public roads, enabling energy-efficient, cost-effective, and scalable transportation of goods. Clevon's ARCs have been operating on European roads for over three years, boasting a perfect safety record. The company is dedicated to helping customers meet their targets for environmentally-friendly deliveries.
