Sunderland City Council, GB 5G CAL Terberg Autonomous Pilot

In Progress

5G Connected Automated Logistics (5G CAL) is a city-led autonomous delivery pilot involving a regional Nissan plant and local suppliers. An all-electric Terberg YT202 is outfitted with a StreetDrone system of sensors and cameras needed for autonomous operation. The initial 5G CAL trial will determine how the YT202 handles security gates, roundabouts, and other features. City officials and their project partners are aiming for an emissions-free logistics system enabled by 5G connectivity.
