Just-in-Time production is one of the greatest strengths of automotive manufacturing, yet also its biggest vulnerability. When your entire assembly line relies on parts arriving in a ten-minute window, and you're holding almost no buffer inventory, there is no margin for error. Keeping your plant running smoothly means every part has to arrive on time.

1. A late shuttle delivery can shut down your entire assembly line
2. Driver shortages and no-shows make it hard to guarantee consistent, predictable deliveries and operations
3. Diesel tractors add emissions and noise, conflicting with the strict ESG goals automotive OEMs have set

With ex9, automotive sites and supplier parks gain stability, safety, and performance without added disruption. Our autonomous, electric trucks keep shuttle deliveries moving safely and on time:

• Reduce reliance on drivers who can be hard to find, train and keep
• Ensure precise and reliable trailer moves
• Reduce CO₂ emissions up to 100%

For retail distribution centers and FMCG manufacturers, keeping shelves stocked in stores and products available online means that deliveries must run like clockwork. Their yards handle thousands of short trailer moves each day, with added pressure at peak times. Which is often when staffing shortages bite.

1. Frequent coupling and short moves cause inefficiency with bottlenecks forming when trailers are lost, sit idle or run empty
2. 24/7 operations lead to high costs in labor, fuel, and damages
3. Complicated manoeuvring in busy yards increases the risk of collisions, accidents and injuries

By automating repetitive trailer movements, ex9 allows sites to handle daily peaks without extra labor, while improving safety and reliability:

• Cut costs by around 30%
• Reduce incidents to near zero
• Boost your yard performance by up to 25%

Cold chain logistics depend on fast, precise dock operations. Even short delays can cause break cold chain integrity, damage goods and cause excess waste and cost.

1. Temperature integrity is at risk if trailers sit idle or are mis-docked
2. Outdoor and refrigerated yard work is tough, leading to fatigue, errors and high turnover in yard staff
3. Diesel tractors add further emissions and energy costs to cold storage sites that already consume large amounts of energy

ex9's autonomous, electric yard trucks keep trailers moving quickly and precisely, protecting cold chain integrity:

• Improve working conditions for yard personnel and drivers
• Safeguard product quality while lowering costs and waste
• Electrify shunting to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions

Ports and rail terminals depend on fast and predictable trailer, container and swap-body movements between ships, trains, and trucks. Bottlenecks during peak periods cause delays, high demurrage fees, and lower asset utilization.

1. Manual trailer and container flows are uneven, creating queues and missed vessel or train slots.
2. Mixed traffic and poor visibility zones increase the risk of collisions and infrastructure damage.
3. Diesel yard tractors raise CO₂ and noise levels, conflicting with port decarbonization plans.

ex9 automates repetitive trailer and container moves with electric yard trucks that operate safely and precisely:

• Reduces congestion, bringing predictable flows to complex terminals without disrupting daily operations
• Lowers risk of accidents involving humans and equipment
• Removes diesel emissions from the yard helping meet sustainability goals
