Suitable vehicles wanted for container service
The Port of Rotterdam Authority has published a request for tenders among sector parties for the provision of a new transport service that enables container terminal operators at Maasvlakte to exchange containers via the container exchange route (CER).
The European tender announcement concerns both the supply of hybrid transport vehicles and the actual carriage of the containers (transport as a service). In this hybrid format, the vehicle can run both completely autonomously and/or be operated by a human driver.
The transport vehicles will operate completely autonomously between the different connected terminals on Maasvlakte. CER is an internal 17-km track that can be used for the efficient transport of containers between different locations. (ben)
