Aurrigo International
plc
Agreement for trials at
Munich International Airport
Aurrigo International plc (AIM:
AURR, the "Company" or "Aurrigo"), a leading international provider
of transport technology solutions, has
signed an agreement with the Digital Testbed Air Cargo Project
Consortium ("DTAC") to deploy the Company's Auto-DollyTug at Munich
International Airport for autonomous cargo transport
trials. This agreement follows on the
recent project announcement with DTAC at Stuttgart
Airport.
Auto-DollyTug is scheduled to be
deployed in Q2 2024, with results published in Q3 2024. The project
is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Digital and
Transport (BMDV) and will be carried out under the academic
leadership of the Fraunhofer IML (Institute for Material Flow and
Logistics) and the Frankfurt University of Applied Science as part
of the Digital Testbed Air Cargo project.
The Auto-DollyTug combines the
utility of a baggage / cargo tractor, with the ULD carrying
capability of an airport dolly, making a more flexible and space
efficient vehicle. This means that a combination of an
Auto-DollyTug and three trailers carries four ULDs or over 30% more
than a traditional tug set-up of the same overall
length.
David Keene, CEO, commented: "We are
thrilled to advance our work with the Digital Testbed Air Cargo
project by adding another location for testing within the region.
With two key deployments now slotted in Germany for 2024, we are
continuing to push the boundaries of autonomous technology in
diverse airport settings worldwide, unlocking new
possibilities."
