Aurrigo International plc, a global leader in transport technology, is pleased to announce that its Auto-Dolly Tug and Auto-Sim platforms have received formal approval for recommendation to Aviation Solutions B.V.’s network of over 60 international airports.
Aviation Solutions specialises in commercialising innovative technologies that have successfully passed stringent trials at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The partnership between Aurrigo and Aviation Solutions, first announced last year, aimed to bring Aurrigo’s autonomous ground handling solutions to market. With successful validation now completed under the Royal Schiphol Group contract, efforts are shifting toward global commercial deployment.
Marcel Stroop, Director of Go-to-Market at Aviation Solutions, remarked:
“Aurrigo is a true pioneer in autonomous ground handling. This partnership is a major step in scaling proven innovations from Schiphol to airports worldwide. We work with trusted partners to deliver guaranteed, reliable solutions—and we’re thrilled to have Aurrigo on board.”
The collaboration will allow Aviation Solutions to showcase the environmental, operational, and cost-saving advantages of Aurrigo’s Auto-Dolly Tug technology to its extensive partner network. Over 65 organisations are currently engaged with Aviation Solutions’ offerings.
Professor David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo, added:
“The Auto-Dolly Tug represents one of the most significant advancements in baggage and cargo handling in over 40 years. As more airports witness the impact of our autonomous technology, interest is rapidly growing.”
The Auto-Dolly Tug is an all-electric, autonomous vehicle that merges the roles of a traditional baggage tractor and airport dolly into a single, compact unit. Currently undergoing trials at six major airports, the system features a unique sideways drive mechanism that allows it to rotate and maneuver in tight spaces. Its robotic arms enable automated loading and unloading of unit load devices (ULDs), helping airports improve efficiency even in congested environments.
With this milestone, the wider aviation industry is being invited to explore how autonomous technologies can transform airport operations for a more sustainable and efficient future.
