MAN #truck & Bus and Hamburger Hafend Logistik AG successfully completed the "Hamburg TruckPilot" project in the summer of 2021. The goal of the three-year project, which was also part of the strategic partnership between the city of Hamburg and Volkswagen AG, included the development and practical testing of an autonomous truck in container handling at the HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA). During the voyages, Spedition logistics partner Jakob Weets eK from Emden transported driver-controlled 40-foot containers on behalf of Volkswagen Group Logistics to the CTA terminal in the port of Hamburg for the first time. There, the truck autonomously crossed the terminal area and moved smoothly through traffic with other users. He drove to his destination in the block storage lane and also reversed into the parking lot. After the handling of the containers, the return journey to the check gate was equally autonomous and, beyond the terminal, the driver of the transport company Jakob Weets eK took over full command.
