July 4, 2019 by Anna

DB Schenker has presented the world’s first autonomous electric truck, the T-Pod, to a wide industry audience in Germany for the first time at a transport logistics trade show in Munich in June.

The T-Pod was developed in cooperation with Einride, a Swedish startup. It is the world’s first truck approved for commercial use on public roads.

Alexander Doll, member of the management board for finance, freight transport and logistics, says: “We want to be a reliable partner for our customers in the logistics, freight transport and infrastructure segments now and in the future. We have set out to implement new ideas and innovative technology to become better, day after day.”

Schenker to build automated warehouse for Apohem

January 24, 2019 by Anna

Apohem, an online pharmacy launched by Axfood, Novax and the e-commerce entrepreneurs behind LensOn, has selected DB Schenker’s automated warehouse solution.

Apohem chose the solution because it offers a more effective picking and packing process than in a standard shelf warehouse, says DB Schenker. It will also allow Apohem to scale up volumes based on the company’s expected growth.

DB Schenker’s automated warehouse management solution is ideally suited to Apohem, which has a wide range of products and the goal of delivering orders to customers in less than the time it would take them to get to a physical chemist.

December 3, 2018 by Anna

DB Schenker and Einride have launched the installation for the first commercial use of a T-pod – an all-electric, autonomous truck – at a DB Schenker facility in Jönköping, central Sweden.

The T-pod will travel continuously to and from a warehouse, paving the way for a sustainable transition of road freight transportation.

Einride’s T-pod has no driver’s cab but is supervised and can be teleoperated by a human operator, from hundreds of miles away.

Platooning: practical use of networked truck convoys in Gemany

July 3, 2018 by Anna

DB Schenker, together with its cooperation partners MAN Truck & Bus and Hochschule Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, has sent two digitally networked trucks into practical use on a German highway.

In the presence of Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, Andreas Scheuer, a truck “platoon” set off from the DB Schenker branch office in Neufahrn near Munich via the A9 digital test field to Nuremberg. The federal government is funding the pilot project with around 2m euros.

The term “platooning” refers to a system in which at least two trucks drive in a tight convoy on a freeway, supported by technical driving assistance and control systems.
