Villeurbanne, France, 9 September 2024 – 9 PM CET – Navya Mobility

Charlatte Autonom, a joint venture created in 2018 by Navya Mobility, leader in autonomous mobility systems, and Charlatte Manutention, a Fayat Group company and world leader in electric baggage tractors, announces its participation in the GSE Expo Europe trade show from September 17 to 19 at Feira Internacional, Lisbon. Charlatte Autonom teams will be on hand at the Charlatte Manutention stand (EX46) to present the company’s latest innovations in autonomous logistics.
GSE Expo Europe is the only European show entirely dedicated to ground management equipment and services for the aviation industry. With over 3,000 participants and 160 exhibitors, it is the must-attend event for all players in the airport industry, from airlines to ground service providers.
Presentation of the Autonom® Tract tractor, a showcase for level 4 autonomous technology
Charlatte Autonom will be presenting its Autonom® Tract, which features full Level 4 autonomy technology with no operator on board. A demonstration of the autonomous tractor will take place on Wednesday, September 18 from 10 to 11 a.m. in the 170 m² demo area, where the vehicle will make an 8-way trip and tow a trailer. Among recent deployments, notably in Japan, Germany is now operating the Autonom® Tract AT135 in level 4 autonomy on the production site of a major German car manufacturer since April (see PR of July 30, 2024).
The solution is operational under nominal conditions on an industrial and logistics site, and is modular, customized, and designed with safety as a top priority. This deployment marks a major step toward broader adoption in the industrial sector. The company will present its mobility solutions for the transportation of goods, as well as its innovations in safety and efficiency in logistics operations. Registration and further information are available on the GSE Expo Europe website.
“GSE Expo Europe is a benchmark event in the airport logistics sector… I’m convinced that our technology will win over professionals in attendance”, said Jean-Claude Bailly, CEO of Navya Mobility.
“Taking part in this second edition… The Autonom® Tract AT135 uses CE-certified technology, enabling L4 deployment at selected pilot sites. We are convinced that our solution will redefine standards in the airport and industrial sectors”, said Bastien Devaux, CEO of Charlatte Manutention.

Charlatte Autonom will be exhibiting alongside Charlatte Manutention on stand EX46 at the show.
