Ashok Leyland has inked a pact with Aidrivers to produce autonomous electric terminal trucks. The tie-up with the global specialist in AI-enabled autonomous solutions across industrial mobility is aimed at addressing the net zero emission needs of the port industry.
The two companies will combine their specialised knowledge and experience to meet the demands of sustainable autonomous transportation in the port industry. The inaugural fleet of vehicles, which will be produced at Ashok Leyland's various manufacturing facilities, is expected to be ready for real terminal operations early next year.
Ashok Leyland, the Hinduja Group flagship company in India, is engaged in the manufacturing of commercial vehicles and related components. The company’s products include buses, trucks, engines, defense and special vehicles.
