Company profile
researched Aug 2026Clevon (registered as Cleveron Mobility AS) develops and manufactures autonomous robot carriers for last-mile delivery of goods. Its third-generation vehicle, CLEVON 1, is a fully electric, driverless platform with no driver compartment, designed only to transport goods and equipment; the company describes it as roughly five times lighter than an average van. Hardware and software, including the autonomous driving system and the teleoperation control station, are developed in-house. The company positions its system as Level 4 autonomy within a defined operational design domain such as mapped urban areas and industrial zones, with one teleoperator monitoring several vehicles β up to a fleet of ten carriers according to the product page. Reporting from 2023 described the system as having evolved from first-generation teleoperation (2018) to "tele-supervision," in which the vehicle drives while a remote human monitors it.
The robot is platform-based and accepts interchangeable "top-applications." MultiBox provides configurable lockers (3-, 4-, 5- or 6-locker variants, adjustable locker height of 600 mm or 300 mm, 75 kg payload) for multi-customer deliveries with PIN-code pickup delivered by SMS, illuminated compartments, remote locker closing and weatherproofing; CargoBox is a configurable cargo bay for various-sized goods. Company materials cite a top speed of 18 mph (29 km/h) with public-road testing up to about 15 mph, a range of roughly 70 km or five hours, plug-in and wireless charging with regenerative braking and a 20β80% charge in about 45 minutes, and a camera-and-radar sensor stack giving a 360-degree field of view. Forbes reported different figures from an interview with the CEO: 98 inches long, 45 inches wide, 61 inches high, top speed 31 mph and maximum payload 330 pounds.
Applications span retail, grocery, parcel logistics, food delivery, holiday parks, airports and healthcare. Named deployments and partners include DPD (Estonia and the Netherlands), DHL Express, REWE Group (Vilnius), Colruyt Group's Collect&Go in Belgium, the Lithuanian grocery chain IKI with last-mile platform LastMile, KFC in Tallinn, Viljandi Hospital for transporting test materials, PostNet in Northlake, Texas, and T-Mobile for fleet connectivity in the U.S.
