Aurrigo International plc
("Aurrigo" or the "Company")
New Contract with Teesside International Airport
Deployment of Aurrigo's Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® for autonomous baggage and passenger transport
Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of transport technology solutions, is pleased to announce the signing of a new contract with Tees Valley Combined Authority to deploy autonomous solutions at Teesside International Airport ("Teesside"). With a total contract value of £0.9 million, this multi-year project will see Aurrigo develop an autonomous baggage and passenger moving system at Teesside.
The project will begin in H2 2025 with delivery of the Auto-Shuttle® for initial testing at the new Connected and Automated Mobility ("CAM") Pathfinder test centre, followed by delivery of the Auto-DollyTug®. Following completion of the testing phase, the Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® will be transferred to Teesside International Airport for airside testing and live operations.
This project will culminate in 2026 in an Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® working in conjunction airside to deliver people and bulk baggage autonomously around the airport. This will be a landmark achievement for the Company as it will be able to demonstrate the benefits its solutions can bring in an airside environment with multiple solutions working together.
David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International, commented: "I am delighted to announce the signing of a new Autonomous customer, Tees Valley, where our vehicles will be operating at Teesside International Airport. This marks the first time our Auto-Shuttle® and Auto-DollyTug® will be deployed together as an integrated solution in a live airport environment. Our solutions work to enhance the passenger experience amid rising traveller volumes, while delivering greater efficiency, lower operational costs, and improved safety. We look forward to working closely with Teesside and showcasing the results of this project to strengthen our go-to-market approach with both existing and prospective customers."
Teesside Airport Managing Director, Phil Forster, said : "It's an absolute pleasure to see Teesside Airport hosting more world-leading technology and chalking up another UK - and global - first. To have this technology in place early next year will mean bags will travel from check-in to plane even more seamlessly, and in an even greener way.
"It will also help us shape how we move passengers around Teesside in the future - and will likely have an impact on the whole aviation industry. We were first in the UK to install new security scanners to allow passengers to keep liquids and electronics in bags, and now we're leading the world in driverless cargo and bag systems with Aurrigo."
