Westwell and Hutchison Ports Port of Felixstowe Have Signed A Contract to Introduce over 100 Q-Trucks at the Port of Felixstowe, Spearheading Sea Port Smart and Green Operation with Autonomous Driving and Electric Trucks

2023年6月2日，中國香港，場景化新能源自動駕駛的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者上海西井科技股份有限公司（簡稱：西井科技WESTWELL）與和記港口菲力斯杜港 Felixstowe 正式簽署新增100輛新能源智能無人駕駛卡車Q-Truck的協(xié)議。雙方將在英國菲力斯杜港 Felixstowe 打造迄今為止最大規(guī)模的新能源無人駕駛商用車隊，并部署綠色智能能源換電服務(wù)，繼續(xù)深化無人駕駛技術(shù)在全球集裝箱港口的商業(yè)應(yīng)用以及價值探索。

Westwell is a global leader in scene-based new energy autonomous driving, On June 2, 2023, it has signed an agreement with Hutchison Ports Port of Felixstowe in Hong Kong China, for an additional 100 battery-powered autonomous Q-Trucks developed by Westwell. At the Port of Felixstowe, both parties will collaborate to build the largest electric autonomous commercial vehicle fleet to date, and build battery-swapping infrastructures and related services to support the operation of the fleet. By doing so, the two parties will further advance the commercial application and value exploration of autonomous driving technology in global container ports.

 

自2018年起，西井科技與和記港口開展深度合作，并助力和記港口旗下的泰國蘭差彭港D碼頭成為全球首家“有人駕駛與無人駕駛”混行的智慧碼頭。以提升用戶價值為核心，西井科技充分發(fā)揮AI、無人駕駛的技術(shù)優(yōu)勢以及產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈生態(tài)優(yōu)勢，持續(xù)創(chuàng)新精心打磨產(chǎn)品，通過“整車+無人駕駛軟硬件+車路云”的全局化運營解決方案，與和記港口共同開創(chuàng)全球港口“高效降本、綠色安全”的運營標桿。

Since 2018, Westwell has initiated in-depth collaboration with Hutchison Ports to introduce autonomous Q-Trucks to the daily commercial operation of Terminal D in Laem Chabang Port, Thailand, facilitating it to become the first smart port in the world under mixed mode operation between manned and unmanned internal traffic.

Throughout its development, Westwell has always maintained a "clients first" approach, leveraging its technological advantages in AI and autonomous driving, along with its robust ecosystem within the industry chain, to consistently iterate on its products and services. Through a comprehensive operational solution that encompasses complete vehicles, piloting systems, and V2X infrastructures, Westwell collaborate with Hutchison Ports, has successfully established a global benchmark for efficiency, safety, and sustainability in port operations.

作為歐洲首個將“無人駕駛卡車”引入混合運輸集裝箱碼頭作業(yè)的國際港，菲力斯杜港位于英國東南海岸的戰(zhàn)略要地，是英國最大和最繁忙的集裝箱樞紐港。此外，它還擁有三個鐵路樞紐以及英國最繁忙、最大的聯(lián)運鐵路貨運設(shè)施，其中8號和9號泊位可為世界上最大的集裝箱船提供額外的深水能力。

和記港口將整合“智能化與新能源”的創(chuàng)新技術(shù)，在英國菲力斯杜港打造成“高效自動化與可持續(xù)”兼具的世界一流標桿智慧港口，進一步加強和記港口在歐洲地區(qū)的業(yè)務(wù)布局。

As the first international port in Europe to introduce autonomous trucks to mixed traffic container terminal operations, Hutchison Ports Port of Felixstowe is strategically located on the UKs South East coast and within easy reach of major ports in North West continental Europe. As the UKs first purpose-built container-handling facility, it is also the largest and busiest container port in the country. With three rail terminals, it also has the busiest and biggest intermodal rail freight facility in the UK. The latest phase of development, Berths 8&9, provides additional deep-water capacity for the world’s largest container ships.  

By integrating innovative technologies of "intelligence and new energy", Hutchison Ports aims to build the Port of Felixstowe into a world class smart port that combines efficiency, automation, and sustainability, strengthening its presence in Europe.

 

此次簽約的無人駕駛卡車Q-Truck，是西井科技正向自研的全球首款智能換電無人駕駛商用車。它顛覆性地取消了人類駕駛室，可應(yīng)用于海陸空港、工廠等多個場景，為用戶創(chuàng)造更高效且可持續(xù)的生產(chǎn)力價值。

Q-Truck, signed in this contract, is Westwell"s first globally self-developed intelligent swappable battery-powered unmanned commercial vehicle. It disruptively removes the driver cabin and can be applied to multiple scenarios including sea, land and air ports, factories, etc., promoting clients" operation efficiency and empowering them with sustainable productivity.
