Overview
Passengerless electric delivery vehicle built with BYD: ~20% narrower than a car, 500 lb (227 kg) of cargo across heated/cooled compartments (about 24 grocery bags), and a top speed of 45 mph — double the R2's 25. A custom external front airbag protects pedestrians, and self-cleaning cameras, radar, lidar, and thermal sensors give a 360-degree view. Final assembly at Nuro's $40M Nevada facility. Partnerships have included Domino's, FedEx, Kroger, 7-Eleven, and Uber Eats; the third generation returned to driverless testing after Nuro's autonomous-driver licensing pivot. Designed around delivery — autonomous road delivery, groceries, food. Headline numbers: 227 kg payload, 72 m/s top speed. US-made: Nuro (3rd-Gen) sits on the unrestricted side of the FCC Covered List divide.
