All Nippon Airways (ANA) will collaborate with Toyota Industries to conduct tests of an advanced automatic towing tractor at Chubu (Nagoya） Centrair International Airport from February 10 to February 14.
The airport was selected because it hosted over 100,000 departures and arrivals in fiscal 2018, meaning that logistics operations must be performed at the highest standards.
The tests are designed to provide the necessary safety and performance data to ensure that the tractor will be able to handle a variety of real-world situations when it is put into service. The development of this autonomous tractor is the latest example of ANA embracing innovative technology to increase convenience and improve service for its passengers.
