Hutchison Ports first to pilot autonomous truck technology in Thailand

Hutchison Ports has become the first port operator in Thailand to pilot autonomous truck technology in its Terminal D facility at Laem Chabang Port.

The testing phase for the six electric Qomolo trucks (Q-trucks) is set to run for one year and, during this period, the trucks will be integrated with the existing conventional fleet to transfer containers between the quay and the yard.

Stephen Ashworth, Thailand and South East Asia managing director for Hutchison Ports, said: “The autonomous Q-trucks utilise the latest technology and innovation, and are part of our ongoing plan to transform Terminal D into the most technologically advanced and efficient container terminal in the region.”
