FERNRIDE’s safety & security concept for autonomous terminal tractors has recently passed the evaluation conducted by the international testing and certification company TÜV SÜD. The safety concept for autonomous terminal tractors is the first of its kind in the European Union.
Every terminal is different. Whether it’s the layout, available space, or access to skilled labor - these unique conditions require an automation solution that can adapt without causing disruptions or requiring major infrastructure changes.
Before the 1950s, shipping was a chaotic ballet of barrels, crates, and sacks, each piece of cargo loaded individually onto ships. Then came Malcolm McLean, a trucking entrepreneur with a vision for efficiency.
Autonomous vehicles, such as terminal tractors, are increasingly being utilized within container terminals for horizontal transportation to improve efficiency and safety. Autonomous, electric vehicles offer the potential for 24/7 operation, reduced manual labor, and optimized driving patterns.
Germany-based autonomous trucking innovator FERNRIDE announces their next generation autonomous vehicle kit. FERNRIDE’s Vehicle Kit is designed to endure extreme conditions like sub-zero temperatures, ice and blizzards in Estonia, as well as the arid climate and...
I am not here to steer controversy, but let me get straight to the point: human-assisted autonomy is the only path to scalable and reliable logistics automation today. Especially, in the AV space we are used to the moonshot approach: it’s all in or nothing; either full autonomy or none at all...
When it comes to autonomous vehicles, it is a no-brainer that one of the first questions that comes to mind is “How safe is this technology?”. It pushes the boundaries of human innovation and prompts us to create new frameworks and approaches to how we think about safety. In this article we share a glimpse...
