Lorenz has announced that four fully electric transport vehicles will take over central in-plant traffic at its Neunburg vorm Wald facility.
Together with the Swedish logistics technology company Einride, the snack manufacturer is now venturing into the field of autonomous electric transport solutions.
Einride provides the cabless vehicles, while its Saga software platform coordinates and manages the processes, planning and synchronising autonomous transport operations.
This allows Lorenz to integrate autonomous transport technology permanently into its plant operations.”
In this pilot project, the autonomous electric truck is permitted to travel at a maximum speed of 25 km/h – though it is likely capable of much more.
