In the U.S., logistics giants like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are heavily investing in autonomous delivery vehicles, while in Europe and Asia, major freight operators and ports are integrating automated logistics solutions.

How Automation is Transforming Logistics

Autonomous Trucks & Warehouse Vehicles
Manufacturers like Daimler Trucks (USA/Germany), Volvo Trucks (Sweden), and Tesla (USA) are developing self-driving trucks, already being tested for long-haul and port operations. These technologies reduce driver shortages, optimize fuel consumption, and enable 24/7 operations.

Teleoperated Vehicles for High-Risk Logistics Zones
Ports, warehouses, and distribution centers are increasingly adopting remotely controlled yard trucks and forklifts to ensure safe and efficient operation. Companies like Konecranes (Finland) and Hyster-Yale (USA) are implementing Drive-by-Wire systems, allowing vehicles to be controlled remotely from secure operation centers.

AI-Driven Transport Planning & Fleet Optimization

Modern AI-powered systems optimize route planning, analyze traffic patterns, and enhance the efficiency of autonomous logistics fleets. DuxAlpha by Arnold NextG (Germany) provides dynamic fleet optimization, reducing delays and transport costs. In the U.S. and Europe, companies like Trimble and Wabco are leveraging AI-based logistics solutions to automate transport workflows.

Force Feedback: Enhanced Safety & Control for Remote Logistics Operations

Teleoperated logistics vehicles require precise maneuvering, especially in tight warehouse spaces, ports, and docking zones. Force Feedback technology provides:

• Real-time resistance feedback for precise steering
• Immediate alerts for obstacles or hazardous maneuvers
• Reduced operator fatigue for long-haul or shift-based driving

By integrating NX NextMotion with Force Feedback, the operation of remote-controlled logistics vehicles becomes safer, more intuitive, and highly efficient.

U.S. & Global Logistics Regulations: Why Drive-by-Wire is Essential

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are increasingly pushing for autonomous technology to improve road safety and reduce emissions. In Europe and Asia, environmental and safety regulations are driving the shift to autonomous and teleoperated logistics vehicles.

With NX NextMotion’s Drive-by-Wire technology, logistics companies can:

• Address driver shortages and reduce operational costs
• Optimize supply chains with autonomous vehicle integration
• Meet global safety and environmental compliance standards
