"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has taken a significant leap toward autonomous and sustainable transportation with the launch of the nation's first commercial fleet of self-driving electric trucks. The milestone, realised through a partnership between Evocargo, a developer of autonomous logistics solutions, and RAK Ceramics, one of the world's leading manufacturers of ceramics and sanitaryware, signals how automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainability are converging to reshape the region's logistics sector."
"Each truck can travel up to 200km per charge and operates continuously, pausing only for simultaneous loading or unloading and charging - a real-world example of how AI-driven mobility can meet commercial logistics demands. At the core of the N1 is a fifth-generation autopilot system coupled with an AI-powered multi-sensor perception platform. LIDARs, sonars, and cameras continuously feed data into a computing unit that interprets road signs, pedestrian movement, and infrastructure features in real time, enabling the vehicles to navigate dynamic environments safely and efficiently."
"This launch proves autonomous, zero-emission transport is no longer a concept, but a viable solution for daily commercial operations. It's a transformative step for UAE's logistics sector - enhancing supply chains, boosting efficiency, and reducing environmental impact. Our robots-as-a-service model makes this innovation accessible and scalable, offering businesses subscription-based access to autonomous vehicles without upfront costs,"
Evocargo and RAK Ceramics deployed the UAE's first commercial fleet of self-driving electric Evocargo N1 trucks in Ras Al Khaimah's Al Jazeera Al Hamra industrial zone to move products between facilities. Each truck can travel up to 200 km per charge and operates continuously, pausing only for simultaneous loading or unloading and charging. The N1 uses a fifth-generation autopilot and an AI-powered multi-sensor perception platform that integrates LIDAR, sonar, and camera data to interpret road signs, pedestrians, and infrastructure in real time. A robots-as-a-service subscription model enables scalable access without upfront costs, enhancing supply chains and reducing emissions.
