RNS Number : 0717V Aurrigo International PLC 13 August 2025
13 August 2025
Aurrigo International plc
("Aurrigo" or the "Company")
New Contract with Teesside International Airport
Deployment of Aurrigo's Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® for autonomous
baggage and passenger transport
Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of
transport technology solutions, is pleased to announce the signing of a new
contract with Tees Valley Combined Authority to deploy autonomous solutions at
Teesside International Airport ("Teesside"). With a total contract value of
£0.9 million, this multi-year project will see Aurrigo develop an autonomous
baggage and passenger moving system at Teesside.
The project will begin in H2 2025 with delivery of the Auto-Shuttle® for
initial testing at the new Connected and Automated Mobility ("CAM") Pathfinder
test centre, followed by delivery of the Auto-DollyTug®. Following completion
of the testing phase, the Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® will be
transferred to Teesside International Airport for airside testing and live
operations.
This project will culminate in 2026 in an Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug®
working in conjunction airside to deliver people and bulk baggage autonomously
around the airport. This will be a landmark achievement for the Company as it
will be able to demonstrate the benefits its solutions can bring in an airside
environment with multiple solutions working together.
David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International, commented: "I am delighted to
announce the signing of a new Autonomous customer, Tees Valley, where our
vehicles will be operating at Teesside International Airport. This marks the
first time our Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® will be deployed together as
an integrated solution in a live airport environment. Our solutions work to
enhance the passenger experience amid rising traveller volumes, while
delivering greater efficiency, lower operational costs, and improved safety.
We look forward to working closely with Teesside and showcasing the results of
this project to strengthen our go-to-market approach with both existing and
prospective customers."
Teesside Airport Managing Director, Phil Forster, said: "It's an absolute
pleasure to see Teesside Airport hosting more world-leading technology and
chalking up another UK - and global - first. To have this technology in place
early next year will mean bags will travel from check-in to plane even more
seamlessly, and in an even greener way.
"It will also help us shape how we move passengers around Teesside in the
future - and will likely have an impact on the whole aviation industry. We
were first in the UK to install new security scanners to allow passengers to
keep liquids and electronics in bags, and now we're leading the world in
driverless cargo and bag systems with Aurrigo."
