EX9 unveils autonomous electric fleet tractor

French startup EX9 showcased its autonomous electric fleet tractor at CES 2024. This Truck as a Service (TaaS) vehicle is designed to move heavy loads like trailers and containers on logistics sites. Controlled by a central tower and equipped with Autopilot software, it operates without a driver, navigating, hitching trailers, parking, and recharging autonomously. Tested at DHL's Mitry-Mory site, it boosted trailer pre-loads by 20% and improved rotation cycles.
