Autonomous Logistics in Transition

How Arnold NextG’s Drive-by-Wire System Rewrites the Rules of Mobility

The Future Drives Without a Driver – But Not Without Trust

Logistics is the backbone of global commerce. But this backbone is under strain: driver shortages, fragile supply chains, congested cities. That’s where PAVE Europe’s new white paper comes in – and it’s crystal clear: autonomous logistics is not a futuristic dream – it’s already transforming the present.

The opportunities are massive: Last-mile delivery alone accounts for over USD 155 billion – and growing fast​. Whether on industrial sites, in cities, or along highways, autonomous vehicles outperform traditional systems in safety, efficiency, and environmental impact.

Three Scenarios, One Solution: NX NextMotion

From airport logistics and warehouse shuttles to delivery robots and long-haul trucks, autonomous logistics needs one thing above all: a secure, scalable, and fail-operational control system. That’s exactly what Arnold NextG provides with NX NextMotion.

Our Drive-by-Wire system replaces mechanical control with fully digital steering, braking, and acceleration. It’s:

  • Certified (ASIL D, SIL3, ISO 21434 & UNECE R155)
  • Multi-Redundant and fail-operational
  • Platform-independent – adaptable to off-road, mid-mile, last-mile, and long-haul applications

Why Now?

The numbers speak volumes: 1 in 4 industrial accidents involve forklifts, according to the British Safety Council​. Driver shortages are rising. And climate goals can’t be achieved without smart, sustainable mobility.

Autonomous logistics systems powered by Arnold NextG make your supply chain future-proof – economically, ecologically, and ethically.
