NAVYA, a leading company in autonomous vehicles and in smart and shared mobility solutions, and Charlatte Manutention, the well-known manufacturer of electric and diesel-engined vehicles for industrial and airport applications, have announced the creation of a subsidiary to develop autonomous tractor solutions, particularly for use at airports.
The subsidiary will combine the acknowledged quality and performance of Charlatte Manutention’s T135 baggage tractor and NAVYA’s expertise in autonomous vehicles to develop an autonomous and efficient solution for transporting baggage and freight from airport buildings to the ramp.
The subsidiary, in which NAVYA owns a 51% stake, will manage the development, construction and maintenance of the vehicles. The prototype of the first tractor jointly developed by NAVYA and Charlatte Manutention (known as the AUTONOM TRACT AT135) was shown at the International Airport GSE Expo in October this year.
