2008
Cleveron, a technology company focused on developing software and hardware for automated click-and-collect parcel solutions, was created based on the insight that consumers and businesses need more efficient last-mile logistical solutions.
2018
In order to expand last-mile delivery even further, our first autonomous vehicle prototype Lotte was born. The robot carrier was named the Last-Mile Delivery Innovation of the Year in the Parcel and Postal Technology International Awards.
2019
Cleveron launched an academy to provide professional higher education in cooperation with Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences. The Academy accepted 20 students to study robotics software development.
2020
In 2018, we promised that our driverless vehicles would be on public roads by 2020. We accomplished that. Cleveron 701, the successor to Lotte, was the first unmanned vehicle in Europe to get a license to operate on public roads across Estonia.
2021
In collaboration with DPD Netherlands, Cleveron 701 journeyed through Europe for its first-ever international pilot project. This project also marked the start of bringing autonomous delivery services to the public streets of the Netherlands. This was the first time we flawlessly operated our vehicle from 1500 km away.
2022
The team made a spin-off from Cleveron to form Clevon and introduced their third-generation robot courier CLEVON 1. We made Europe's first driverless delivery, expanded the service to four countries, opened a US office in Texas, and partnered with REWE Group, Colruyt, DPD, and DHL Express.
