Winter service is now also climate-friendly, cost-effective and mess-free: with the new [ARI 1570 winter service vehicle](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-equipment-carriers/ari-1570-winter-service-vehicle). The latest addition to the ARI 1570 electric implement carrier, which was launched in June 2023, has a push blade and rear spreader and is designed to make winter clearing work easier for local authorities and building yards.

 

## Snow pusher with climate bonus: pushes over large areas with zero emissions

 

Equipped with a robust 35 kW AC motor and a powerful LiFePo4 battery, the electric winter service vehicle can achieve a range of up to 170 km. This makes it suitable for extended clearing tours within the city, but with a top speed of 70 km/h it is also well suited for extensive pushing and gritting on country roads.

 

Thanks to the optional all-wheel drive, it can also be used on rough terrain and in parks or green spaces. This makes it a true all-rounder when it comes to winter service and saves the need to purchase different emergency vehicles.

 

What's more, it is completely emission-free, helping to reduce CO2 emissions from municipal fleets. This not only benefits air quality in urban areas, but also protects the climate.

 

## Multitasker in winter mode: Clears and grits at the same time

 

Like all models in the ARI portfolio, the [ARI 1570 winter service vehicle](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-equipment-carriers/ari-1570-winter-service-vehicle) has a modular design. It can be designed as a flatbed, tipper or hook loader, among other things. For use as a clearing and gritting vehicle, the ARI 1570 has been equipped with a sliding blade, which is mounted on the implement carrier plate at the front.

 

The salt spreader, which is also part of the winter package, is mounted at the rear of the implement carrier. This means that the clearing vehicle with hydraulic power steering and 1500 kg payload is able to carry out two operations in one trip. This saves time and distances and enables local authorities and building yards to work more efficiently.

 

## All-rounder with annual joker: Helps all year round and versatile

 

Thanks to its modular design, the compact winter service vehicle can also be used beyond the winter months. This is because the sliding blade and rear spreader can be easily removed and exchanged for other equipment. For example, it can be equipped with a sweeping bar (also available from ARI Motors) or a sweeping brush. This means that the [ARI 1570 winter service vehicle](https://ari-motors.com/en/electric-equipment-carriers/ari-1570-winter-service-vehicle) can be easily adapted to different tasks throughout the year and used all year round.

 

As the ARI 1570 is also characterized by a combined consumption of just 19.2 kWh and requires hardly any maintenance thanks to its simple design and robust construction, it saves operating costs and increases the cost-effectiveness of the municipal fleet.

 

This gives building yards and local authorities an electric clearing and gritting vehicle at their side that helps them to master the mammoth logistical task of winter maintenance in a climate-friendly and cost-effective way. Nothing stands in the way of a tidy winter.

ARI 901 - A versatile electric transporter with plenty of storage space

Autonomous driving is regarded as a key technology for the mobility and logistics of the future. However, not every autonomous vehicle works according to the same principle. It is particularly important to differentiate between supervised autonomous driving and non-supervised autonomous driving. Both approaches pursue different strategies and each has its own strengths and challenges.

 

The key question for companies, cities and logistics providers is therefore: which model is realistic and economically viable today?

 

## What does supervised autonomous driving mean?

 

In supervised autonomous driving, vehicles drive independently on the road but are constantly monitored from a distance. A person does not sit in the vehicle, but in a control center and only intervenes when the system reaches its limits.

 

This monitoring is carried out via cameras, sensors and a permanent data connection. The operator can look after several vehicles at the same time. Interventions are rarely necessary, but increase safety and enable the use of autonomous vehicles even in complex traffic situations.

 

A well-known example of this approach is the US company Faction Technology from Silicon Valley. Faction combines compact electric delivery vehicles with autonomous driving software and permanent remote monitoring. The vehicles drive autonomously, but can be remotely controlled or released at short notice if necessary.

 

The great advantage of this model lies in its high practical relevance. Vehicles do not have to cope with every conceivable traffic situation completely independently, as a human can intervene in the background to provide support. This means that autonomous systems can be brought into real-world use much faster, more cost-efficiently and more easily from a regulatory perspective.

 

Basically, the principle works like an air traffic controller in the tower: he monitors the traffic from a distance and only intervenes when necessary.

 

## What does unsupervised autonomous driving mean?

 

Unsupervised autonomous driving refers to vehicles that drive completely without human supervision or assistance. There is no control center, no operator and no possibility of external intervention. The vehicle must independently recognize, assess and safely manage every traffic situation.

 

This model is often associated with robotaxis or fully autonomous vehicle fleets. One well-known example is Waymo. The company operates vehicles that travel without a driver on board and are designed to function permanently without direct human supervision.

 

The technological demands of this approach are correspondingly high. The system must also reliably master rare, complex and unpredictable situations. At the same time, the regulatory requirements are much stricter, as no human can intervene directly in an emergency.

 

Added to this is the considerable technical complexity: sensors, computing power and redundant systems not only drive up costs, but also energy requirements. The high power consumption in turn has an impact on efficiency and range and inevitably leads to conflicting objectives in the vehicle concept.

 

## Key differences between supervised and non-supervised autonomous driving

 

The most important difference lies in the role of the human driver. In supervised autonomous driving, the human remains part of the system, but no longer in the vehicle. In non-supervised autonomous driving, the human is completely removed from the driving process.

 

The models also differ significantly in economic terms. Supervised autonomous systems can be operated with less technical complexity, as they do not have to solve every exceptional situation fully automatically. This significantly reduces development and operating costs.

 

Non-supervised autonomous vehicles require extremely sophisticated sensor technology, software and protection. This makes them expensive and currently only realistic in very limited areas of application.

 

Another difference is the time to market. Supervised autonomous vehicles can be gradually integrated into existing traffic and delivery concepts. Non-supervised systems usually require completely new framework conditions and are therefore slower to scale.

 

## Example comparison of Faction and Waymo

 

Faction deliberately focuses on supervised autonomous driving. The vehicles are compact, electric and specialized in logistics tasks. Remote monitoring enables safe operation even in mixed traffic and simultaneously reduces the costs per vehicle. This model is particularly suitable for urban delivery services and the last mile.

 

Waymo pursues the approach of non-supervised autonomous driving. The vehicles are designed to drive completely autonomously and do not require permanent human assistance. This model is technologically impressive, but is currently limited to clearly defined areas and very controlled environments.

 

Both approaches are justified, but pursue different goals. While Waymo is focusing on complete autonomy in the long term, Faction is focusing on a solution that can be implemented economically in the short term.

 

## Why supervised autonomous driving is currently preferred

 

Supervised autonomous driving is currently considered the more realistic option for many applications. It enables the use of autonomous vehicles today without having to wait for a fully mature technology.

 

This model offers clear advantages in terms of safety, costs and scalability, particularly in logistics, urban delivery traffic and commercial applications. Acceptance by authorities and the public is also higher, as a human contact person is available at all times.

 

## Significance for ARI Motors and electromobility

 

Supervised autonomous driving is particularly relevant for [ARI Motors](https://ari-motors.com/en) as a provider of affordable electric commercial vehicles. The combination of affordable electric vehicles and supervised autonomous driving technology creates a realistic prospect for autonomous delivery solutions in the European market.

 

Through partnerships with technology providers such as Faction, ARI Motors can meaningfully combine electromobility, economy and autonomy and thus open up new fields of application for compact electric commercial vehicles.

 

## Conclusion

 

The difference between supervised and non-supervised autonomous driving is crucial for the practical implementation of autonomous mobility. While non-supervised systems pursue the long-term goal of complete autonomy, supervised autonomous driving already offers a safe, economical and scalable approach today.

 

Supervised autonomous driving is currently considered the more pragmatic approach, especially for logistics and urban mobility. It combines technological innovation with human control and enables companies such as ARI Motors to put autonomous electromobility into practice today.

Autonomous driving systems: human assistance or complete system autonomy

The electric transport vehicles from ARI Motors feel comfortable in the companion of products and goods. Consequently, the new workplace of one of our [ARI 458 Box](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) fits perfectly. The light electric van is now on the move every day in one of the largest markets in Germany, the GROSSMARKT HANNOVER. The trade and logistics location has been important in the region since 1958 and now supplies more than 3 million consumers within a radius of around 100 kilometers.

 

![ARI 458 Box is busy at GROSSMARKT HANNOVER](https://storage.googleapis.com/ari-motors-2-uploads/ari_458_koffer_grossmarkt_hannover_c48bd2ddd1/ari_458_koffer_grossmarkt_hannover_c48bd2ddd1.jpg)

 

The [ARI 458 Box](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) is used on the 230,000 square meter site by managers who transport tools and work materials in the box body measuring 131 cm x 116 cm x 96 cm (LxWxH). This ensures a functioning infrastructure on the huge site, where more than 1,000 tons of fruit, vegetables, flowers and international groceries are sold every day.

 

In this area of work, the [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) replaces a previously used combustion vehicle of a similar size. According to Managing Director Jörn Böttcher, the "little ARI" has receives a consistently positive response from the more than 1,000 employees at the GROSSMARKT. And so the [ARI 458 Box](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) continues to work diligently across the 23 hectares of the wholesale market, which even has a car workshop and a gas station. Of course, our ARI Motors electric car does not need the latter, it uses the central power supply of the area, which is also equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles.
