Tech and AI engineering specialist HTEC and autonomous vehicle company Embotech have announced that they are to collaborate on AVs for industrial logistics, with Embotech’s autonomous driving solutions deployed across vehicle platforms, customer programs and industrial sites.
The partnership comes as Embotech’s autonomous driving solutions are being adopted across a growing number of vehicle platforms and industrial sites, with efficient scaling of deployments becoming as important as continued technology development.
Under the agreement, HTEC will contribute engineering capacity across onboard software, vehicle integration, connectivity and system validation, enabling Embotech to scale its autonomous driving solutions while retaining control of its autonomy platform, certified safety architecture and product roadmap. The partnership is intended to support faster rollouts for OEMs, logistics providers and yard operators across multiple sites and vehicle platforms.
Embotech’s autonomy solutions operate across factories, logistics centers and ports, moving more than 2,500 vehicles autonomously every day. The company’s TÜV SÜD-certified Level 4 platform combines perception, prediction and motion planning with independently certified safety systems, supporting both vehicle-based and infrastructure-based autonomous operations in industrial logistics.
“Our physical AI-enabled autonomy technology is already operating 24/7 in customer environments, and demand for Level 4 autonomous solutions continues to grow across industrial logistics,” said Andreas Kyrtatos, Embotech CEO. “HTEC adds the engineering expertise to make deployments faster and easier to scale across vehicle platforms and multiple sites.”
“Scaling autonomy in real-world vehicle environments requires more than innovation; it demands industrial-grade execution,” said HTEC CTO Darko Todorovic. “HTEC brings deep expertise in embedded systems and OEM integration to deploy Embotech’s autonomy platform to multiple vehicle platforms. Together with Embotech, we’re enabling autonomous systems to deliver reliably across complex fleets, platforms and sites.”
