Perrone Robotics Launches a Dedicated Transit Division

In an exciting development for the autonomous vehicle landscape, Perrone Robotics, Inc., a leader in the field, has announced the creation of a dedicated Transit Division. This strategic move, revealed on May 14, 2025, is designed to bolster the company's capacity to cater to an expanding clientele within both public and commercial transit sectors. The formation of this division underscores Perrone Robotics' commitment to providing scalable and high-quality transit automation solutions.

The newly established Transit Division is set to focus specifically on deploying the proven TONY Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Kit and TONY Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Kit. These tools will be integrated into transit vehicles, ranging from buses to vans, across various platforms such as university campuses, airports, and residential communities. The goal is to automate transit solutions that significantly enhance passenger mobility with standardized solutions tailored to meet the demands of both existing and emerging technologies.

Leading the charge for this division is Nick Pilipowskyj, who has been appointed as Vice President and General Manager. His responsibilities will encompass overseeing sales, managing customer relationships, ensuring project delivery, and handling contracts as well as financial operations. Alongside him, Don Perrone will serve as Vice President of Operations, focusing on the operational aspects of vehicle deployments, testing, and ongoing support, positioning the company for effective execution of its transit strategy.

Paul Perrone, CEO of Perrone Robotics, expressed his enthusiasm about the new division, stating, "By launching this dedicated Transit Division, we're strategically positioned to manage the rapid growth we've experienced in our transit-related business. The extensive experience of Nick and Don with automated vehicles ensures top-notch management and focused growth. We aim to enhance support for our current customers while actively pursuing new opportunities."

Additionally, Pilipowskyj highlighted the benefits of the new structure, which is expected to foster deeper relationships with transit customers through the offering of reliable and efficient solutions. He indicated how the division is set to continue building on Perrone Robotics' strong reputation for delivering innovative automated passenger transportation solutions.

This organizational restructuring will allow CEO Paul Perrone and COO John Mottola to dedicate their focus to emerging lines of business and to forge innovative partnerships that further enhance the company's capabilities. Perrone is also at the helm of a special projects team tasked with advancing integrations in generative AI, refining software platforms, and enhancing product features across all business sectors.

The establishment of the Transit Division marks a significant milestone for Perrone Robotics, reinforcing its pledge to deliver advanced and dependable solutions tailored specifically for the transit industry. This strategic initiative is also a clear indication of the company’s commitment to investing in forward-thinking technologies and innovations to remain a market leader.
