Autonomous Trucks
Fernride, which specializes in autonomous trucking, and Terberg, a maker of terminal tractors, have agreed a collaboration to develop an automated terminal tractor CE certified for commercial production. Fernride provides its customers with an end-to-end management software suite, to integrate these automated terminal tractors seamlessly into existing yard and terminal operating systems in real-world environments. Terberg manufactures fully electric and diesel-powered terminal tractors with a drive-by-wire interface, and will integrate Fernride’s hardware kit, consisting of computing, connectivity, and sensor-suite, in their assembly line. With Fernride’s software for autonomous and teleoperated driving, the automated terminal tractors will be ready for driverless deployment on the customers’ sites. Hendrik Kramer, CEO of Fernride, says: “We are delighted to bring our autonomous technology to the market with the European leader for terminal tractors.
