VOLK's autonomous electric baggage tractor is a self-driving derivative of its electric baggage-tractor platform, tested on the apron at Stuttgart Airport under the German Federal Ministry-funded 'Smart Fleet' project. It navigates set apron routes independently, holds lane, recognises and avoids obstacles, and manages intersections, with a safety driver on board during the testing phase.
