APM Terminals Maasvlakte II (MVII), Embotech AG, and Terberg have entered into a cooperation agreement to supply and fully implement 30 automated electric terminal tractors (ATTs), a first in the industry.
This tripartite partnership demonstrates a joint commitment to the successful deployment of innovative port technology. The new fleet of automated terminal trucks is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2027, following a successful pilot and extensive testing at APM Terminals MVII. The autonomous technology was found to be ready for safe, large-scale deployment.
The ATTs feature Embotech’s Level 4 AV Kit, which enables them to operate autonomously in complex traffic scenarios with high precision. The system reliably detects obstacles in all weather conditions and provides sub-5cm localization accuracy, allowing for seamless reversing at crane transfer points. This project is set to establish new benchmarks in the field of autonomous horizontal transport at container terminals.
