Off-Road. On-Point

How Autonomy Is Transforming Industrial Logistics

Autonomy Behind the Fence: Where the Future Is Already Operational

Before autonomous vehicles take over public roads, they’re already dominating in another domain: off-road logistics. Mines, airports, factory yards – wherever people, machines and cargo need to move efficiently and safely in tight, controlled environments, autonomous vehicles are proving their worth.

As the PAVE Europe White Paper puts it:

“The safety and economic benefits of AVs in this category tend to be overwhelming. The business cases are undeniable.”​

Off-Road Means Full Control – and Maximum Safety

In defined, closed environments, autonomous deployment becomes both safer and faster. For instance, the British Safety Council reports that 25% of all workplace accidents involve forklifts – globally​.

Arnold NextG’s NX NextMotion platform is built for precisely this kind of terrain:

  • Mechanics-free electronic control for extreme reliability
  • Fail-operational with redundant control and sensor fusion
  • Cybersecure by design – ISO 21434 & UNECE R155 certified
  • OTA-capable and fully scalable

Whether it's a container shuttle or an autonomous material hauler – our platform integrates seamlessly with existing workflows.

Why Arnold NextG?

Today’s industrial autonomy is not a prototype – it’s a real-world requirement. The NX NextMotion platform enables:

  • fully autonomous material transport along fixed or dynamic routes
  • safe co-existence with human workers and legacy systems
  • reduction of safety buffers, thanks to collision-avoiding intelligence

Bottom line: Autonomous off-road vehicles boost productivity, safety and future readiness. And Arnold NextG delivers the technology that makes it all work.
