Agreement for trials at Stuttgart Airport

 

Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR, the "Company" or "Aurrigo"), a leading
international provider of transport technology solutions, has signed an
agreement with with the Digital Testbed Cargo Project Consortium ("DTAC") to
deploy the Company's Auto-DollyTug at Stuttgart Airport for autonomous cargo
transport trials from the terminal to the deck of an aircraft.

 

The Auto-DollyTug is scheduled to be deployed in March 2024 for an initial
four week period at the project test site in Stuttgart Airport. 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 Frauhofer 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 absolutely delighted to win this first
deployment in Germany and this is an endorsement of our strategy to
concentrate on aviation, a sector where there is a clear demand for
autonomous, electric vehicles to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and
allow for continued growth in passenger volumes, despite a shortage of
security cleared ground staff. We look forward to exploring additional
opportunities to work with Stuttgart and DTAC following the initial trial
period".
