Changi Airport deploys first fleet of fully driverless baggage tractors

Two autonomous vehicles now link T1 and T4, with the fleet set to hit 24 by 2027.

Changi Airport has deployed its first fleet of fully driverless autonomous tractors for airside operations.

Two autonomous tractors are currently operating between Terminal 1 and Terminal 4, transferring passenger bags between the terminals’ baggage handling areas.

Another six will be deployed to a different route between Terminal 2’s baggage handling area and aircraft stands later this year to support baggage operations under a CAG-SATS collaboration.

Each tractor is equipped with over 10 sensors and cameras, allowing it to navigate the airside environment in all conditions. The vehicles are also monitored from a control centre, where a remote operator can intervene if required.

The fleet is expected to expand to 24 vehicles by 2027, with future deployments planned to tow cargo and equipment in addition to baggage.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
