Hiab, a provider of smart and sustainable on-road load-handling solutions, and Forterra, a leader in autonomous vehicle technology, have signed a strategic partnership agreement to boost development of autonomous trucking and load handling solutions.<\/p>\n

The agreement reflects both companies\u2019 commitment to advancing the future of logistics through intelligent automation.<\/p>\n

Forterra\u2019s modular autonomy platform, which has been proven in demanding, real-world environments, is being combined with Hiab\u2019s automated load handling solutions and top-of-the-line loading\/unloading expertise.<\/p>\n

The partnership aims to unlock new opportunities across load handling, workflow automation, and coordinated vehicle operations.<\/p>\n

Forterra is the leading provider of autonomous ground systems for defense. Forterra brings more than a decade of experience deploying autonomous systems in complex and unstructured environments, including military logistics, commercial freight, and industrial operations. Forterra\u2019s AutoDrive\u00ae system is the most deployed ground autonomy platform in defense.<\/p>\n

\"\"

With a global presence and a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, Hiab develops and manufactures a wide range of equipment \u2014 from cranes to tail lifts \u2014 for essential industries.<\/p><\/div>\n

By automating traditionally human-controlled systems such as cranes and hooklifts, the partnership brings autonomy deeper into the logistics workflow. This shift aims at enhancing safety, improving efficiency, and allowing personnel to transfer to higher-value tasks. The initial collaboration will focus on aligning technology roadmaps and advancing integration pathways.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our advanced MULTILIFT Talon container handling unit, and our Driver Support technology, Hiab is laying the foundation for further advancements in autonomous load handling. We are excited about the prospect of collaborating with Forterra.<\/p>\n

This joint development will combine Hiab\u2019s expertise in robotics and AI with Forterra\u2019s advanced AutoDrive\u00ae platform. Through this joint initiative, our goal is to elevate autonomous capabilities of truck and load handling, ultimately enhancing sustainability and safety of our customers,\u201d says\u00a0Hermanni Lyyski, President, Demountables and Defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership marks a step in extending autonomy across the entire logistics ecosystem,\u201d says Forterra\u2019s Commercial Vice President Gabe Sganga.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy aligning Forterra\u2019s experience in autonomous systems with Hiab\u2019s expertise in load handling, we are enabling integrated solutions that increase safety, efficiency, and adaptability for customers operating in demanding environments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
