Driverless electric trucks carry boxes between IC terminals, the warehouses of the port region and the inland rail hub, dispatched by The Brain.
IC’s own drayage fleet is the launch customer for its driverless trucks. It starts at IC terminals, runs every box The Brain assigns it, and grows with each new terminal.
The fleet buys every truck IC builds in the first years and runs it on known lanes between IC terminals and the port region. Each truck starts with the terminal’s own digital twin.
Trucks run from the terminal gate to warehouses within 40 km and to the inland rail hub. Longer hauls go by IC train.
Every truck arrives in a booked slot with its box staged at the interchange. The camera gate clears it in a minute, and the turn at the terminal is 20 minutes.
The Brain pairs each import with an export or an empty for the return leg: 1.3 boxes per terminal visit.
The truck carries the terminal tractor’s 450 kWh pack. A charged spare is swapped in three minutes at the terminal or the rail hub.
Terminal tractor →Twenty supervisors a shift answer the questions a truck cannot settle alone. They set the next step; the truck drives it.
Each turn is one round trip of about 80 km: twenty minutes at the terminal, twenty at the customer and fifty-three on the road each way. The pack is swapped after the fourth and the eighth turn.
The tractor unit has no cab. It pulls a standard chassis with a 40 ft box, on the same pack, drives and compute family as the terminal tractor. Design specification.
Sets each box on the truck’s chassis at the interchange.
Straddle carrier →The Brain assigns each box to a truck, books the gate slot, the yard pick, the swap lane and the customer dock together, and re-plans the moment the road changes.
