These trucks would help bring down fuel expenses
Leading innovator in autonomous vehicle technology, BaseTracK, chose the UAE as its research and development base by setting up its office and workshop in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), it was revealed through a press statement.
Along with the facility inauguration, BaseTracK unveiled its first local autonomous truck at an immersive test-drive event in Al Hamra, marking a significant milestone in the region’s automotive industry. During the event, government officials, industry leaders, and transport experts witnessed the cutting-edge capabilities of BaseTracK’s autonomous truck.
The company worked on a regular truck for around a week to automate it. Its advanced autonomous system optimises routes, speeds, and accelerations to minimise fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Furthermore, these trucks would help bring down fuel expenses which are around one-third of the logistics costs. Followed by the successful test drive of the autonomous truck, BaseTracK, intends to roll out the trucks soon on the UAE roads.
Commitment to AV sector
“Our launch event allowed attendees to witness the future of transportation firsthand, reinforcing BaseTracK’s commitment to shaping the autonomous vehicle sector,” commented Andrey Vavilin, CEO, BaseTrack.
“These trucks will play a major role in supporting the industrial businesses that frequently carry out logistical operations,” said Ramy Jallad, CEO, RAKEZ Group.
While working on Autonomous Trucking, BaseTracK soon plans to establish the production and assembly of its other product, Fuel Economy systems, to be sold in Europe, the Middle East, and the US markets, the press note concluded.
