• 2026-02-17 - Deployment - EUROGATE begins Hamburg operational evaluation with Embotech

  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.

• 2025-11-25 - Demonstration - EUROGATE completes autonomous terminal-tractor pilot in Wilhelmshaven

  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.
