November 13, 2018 – Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) announced that one of its divisions, Oceaneering Entertainment Systems (“OES”), has unveiled its newest product, a transportation vehicle system, at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo November 13-16, 2018 in Orlando, Florida.
The REVO-GT™ is a unique vehicle system that uses self-guided, driverless group transit vehicles, each capable of transporting up to 24 passengers on a dedicated guideway allowing passengers to select from pre-programmed routes connecting different origins to one or more specific destinations.
The battery-powered REVO-GT is based on driverless automated guided vehicle (AGV) technology. The system provides a safe, flexible, low-cost, comfortable, and environmentally friendly means of transportation on a 24/7 basis – in virtually any weather conditions – with zero emissions. Its interior is climate controlled, and can maintain a comfortable environment for its passengers, even in extreme ambient conditions. Routes and destinations can be pre-programmed or passenger-selected.
Bill Bunting, Director, Business Development, Entertainment Systems, Oceaneering, said: “The move into AGV transportation for theme parks, campuses and business parks, even urban zones is a natural fit, and opens up so much opportunity to serve a broader market hungry for transportation solutions that are clean, efficient, cost-effective and, most importantly, safe and reliable. Oceaneering has been delivering those hallmarks for more than 50 years, and this is simply the next step in expanding our worldwide presence in the fields of technology adapted to solving what’s needed with what’s next.”
The REVO-GT was developed in partnership with Netherlands-based 2getthere. “Oceaneering is very excited to be teamed with 2getthere to bring the REVO-GT group transit vehicle technology to the marketplace. We have had a long and successful relationship with 2getthere over the years, working on high-profile vehicles and systems for the themed entertainment market,” Bunting said.
