Changi Airport Group (CAG) has signed a multi-year partnership with Aurrigo International, technology solutions provider for the joint development and testing of Changi’s autonomous vehicles, Auto-Dolly and Auto-DollyTug and its airport simulation software platform Auto-Sim.
David Keene, CEO, Aurrigo, said: “We have worked closely with the team at Changi for several years and this partnership cements our collaboration to bring the best automated solutions to airlines and airports, enabling them to improve efficiency, safety and sustainability.”
Poh Li San, senior vice president of Terminal 5 Planning, Changi Airport Group, added: “Similar to major airports throughout the world, recruiting enough ground handling personnel and drivers to support our growth is a challenge. We have been encouraged by Aurrigo’s innovative autonomous technologies to help address these issues, and we’re excited to partner Aurrigo in joint development and testing of these solutions.”
This agreement is an extension of a previously signed deal in October 2022, for the next phase of development of Aurrigo’s Auto-Dolly. The development and testing of Aurrigo’s autonomous vehicles is partially funded by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) through its Aviation Development Fund (ADF).
The ADF supports initiatives to improve productivity in the Singapore aviation sector through the use of innovative solutions.
