About
About Embotech
Embotech develops safety-certified autonomous-driving systems for industrial logistics. Automated Vehicle Marshalling moves finished vehicles through factories and logistics compounds, while the Automated Terminal Tractor system controls yard tractors carrying containers at ports and distribution sites.
AVM places lidar and compute in the facility, allowing ordinary production vehicles to drive autonomously without dedicated onboard sensor kits. It localises and coordinates mixed traffic indoors and outdoors from end-of-line to dispatch and has operated continuously in production since 2022. The system moves more than 2,500 vehicles per day, with multi-site programmes covering automotive plants and container terminals.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-07-07 - Partnership - Embotech and HTEC partner to scale Level 4 industrial logistics autonomy
HTEC will contribute engineering capacity across onboard software, vehicle integration, connectivity and system validation. Embotech retains control of its autonomy platform, certified safety architecture and product roadmap. Embotech says its autonomy solutions operate 24/7 across factories, logistics centres and ports, moving more than 2,500 vehicles autonomously each day.

The pilot began in late January and evaluates transport between the railway terminal and container terminal through straddle-carrier interchange zones. AUCOS supplies automated coupling that connects air, power and data through the kingpin, integrated with Embotech's AV Kit. Throughput, availability and process stability are the operating benchmarks; the project builds on the completed Wilhelmshaven feasibility trial.

The test programme covered 18 use cases, including mixed traffic, precise quay-crane positioning and localisation without GPS. A MAFI terminal tractor used NextG drive-by-wire and Embotech autonomy, connected through ICT equipment-control and terminal systems. The work tested transport and IT integration under port conditions before wider autonomous-terminal adoption.
