About
About Aurrigo
Founded in Coventry in 1993 by brothers David and Graham Keene, Aurrigo began as an automotive engineering business before concentrating its autonomy work on aviation and controlled-site transport. The publicly listed group combines vehicle design, drive-by-wire control, perception, fleet orchestration and simulation rather than supplying a single autonomy component.
Its airport portfolio is built around distinct operating jobs: Auto-DollyTug moves baggage dollies, Auto-Cargo transports unit-load devices and Auto-Shuttle carries people or inspection equipment. Aurrigo reported ten autonomous vehicles operating across six airports in 2024, while the SENTRY programme extends the stack into security patrol and runway or taxiway inspection at live airports.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-10 - Award - Aurrigo awarded £1.43m for SENTRY autonomous-airport programme
SENTRY will use Auto-Shuttle vehicles for perimeter security patrols and runway or taxiway inspection. The programme is planned to progress from controlled testing into live airport operations at Teesside International Airport and later Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The award funds a defined operational programme rather than representing general corporate financing.

The Power Park facility is more than three times the size of Aurrigo’s previous site and includes an on-site autonomous-vehicle test track. Aurrigo stated annual capacity of more than 500 autonomous vehicles at full utilisation, subject to customer demand. The company also reported that its vehicle portfolio and Auto-Sim tool had reached 12 airports globally.

The engineering programme covers lithium-ion battery architecture, HVAC, sensors, electrical control units, software and mechanical retooling. Engineering development was scheduled through 2026, followed by production and testing with completion targeted for September 2027. The initial vehicles are intended for customer demonstrations and commercial engagement in UK and international markets.

The capital was earmarked for demonstrator vehicles, a larger Coventry manufacturing base and expansion of technical and manufacturing teams. At announcement, Aurrigo reported working with seven airports and employing about 110 people. The financing also supported exploration of additional manufacturing capacity for South Asian and Southeast Asian markets.
Source - 2025-04-08 - Partnership - Aurrigo and Aviation Solutions expand Auto-DollyTug commercialisation after Schiphol testing
The recommendation covers Aviation Solutions’ network of more than 60 airports. Royal Schiphol Group contract testing had been validated before the commercialisation programme began. Aurrigo said Auto-DollyTug was then being tested at six airports globally; the wider network rollout remained prospective.

The proceeds were allocated to Auto-DollyTug production, engineering and software headcount, vehicle-deployment capability and working capital. The shareholder circular set an illustrative capacity scenario of 22 Auto-DollyTugs and six live Auto-Sim contracts by the end of 2025, explicitly conditional on commercial contracts. The placing was priced at 44 pence per new ordinary share and settled in tranches spanning December 2024 and January 2025.
