The trials will see EVO.1, Evocargo’s unmanned electric logistics vehicle, navigate Dubai South’s Logistics District from December until February 2023. The Dubai-headquartered Evocargo is a logistics service provider that develops and provides electric autonomous transportation platforms.

A key objective of the trials is to enable Evocargo to modify and redesign EVO.1 specifically for the Mena region. During the trial period, a remote operator will be stationed onsite in the Control Centre to manage the platform. The centre, located in Dubai South’s Logistics District, includes a software suite to monitor the EVO.1’s operation, check the serviceability of the sensors, and identify any errors.
