The agreement was signed during the French
President’s official visit in Qatar.
GAUSSIN (EURONEXT GROWTH ALGAU - FR0010342329), a pioneer
of clean and smart freight transport, Gam Qatar and GWC
(GWCS.QA), Qatar’s leading logistics and supply chain
solutions provider, have established a partnership to test
Gaussin’s zero-emission electric tractors and yard automation
solutions in several GWC warehouses, including GWC Al Wukair
Logistic Park in Qatar.
The agreement was signed during French President Emmanuel
Macron’s official visit to Qatar.
Gaussin, Gam Qatar and GWC will conduct a test in Q1 2022 of two
Gaussin zero emission tractors, the ATM38T manned and the ATM38T
Autonomous equipped with the robotic arm, Gaussin’s unique
technology to couple and decouple the truck from the trailer,
enabling a complete yard automation process.
The test will be performed at various GWC locations in Qatar
including GWC Al Wukair Logistic Park.
“By combining our deep knowledge of complex yard and terminal
operations with revolutionary robotics algorithms we provide
effective solutions to reduce errors, improve safety and
productivity. Our resources, knowledge of logistics processes,
world-class partners, and technological approaches have made us an
industry leader in Yard and Terminal automation, and we are glad to
test our solution with GWC, one of the leading logistics companies
in the Middle East and a pioneer regarding sustainable and smart
logistic solutions to measure the efficiency of our system in the
context of their operations,” said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of
Gaussin Group.
“We were one of the first companies in the region to establish a
process improvement department consisting of streamlined process
engineers, our Six-Sigma professionals worked tirelessly to improve
every process in order to make it more sustainable and competitive.
This is the result of our expertise built over the years as a
preferred logistics partner for the public and private sectors,”
said Ranjeev Menon, Group CEO of GWC. “Our alliance with Gussain -
Gam Qatar reflects our commitment to innovate and pioneer in the
field of logistics. This partnership aligns with our sustainability
goals too. By deploying electric and autonomous yard trucks in our
logistics hubs, Gaussin is giving us to offer our clientele more
efficient, seamless and sustainable services. We recognise
Gaussin's expertise in providing world-class and
technologically-advanced services and we are confident that they
will add immense value to our operations and the industry
standards,” he added.
Introduction in the Middle East of the “shunting process”
using 100% Electric and autonomous yard trucks
The shunting process uses a specific vehicle (yard truck) to
move a designated trailer to and from a predetermined location
within the yard.
The road truck decouples the tractor in the staging area from
the trailer and leaves the logistics center to start another
mission. The trailer is then collected by the yard truck and
transferred at the quay at the right time providing asset
optimization and efficiency.
Within easy reach of Hamad Port and Hamad International Airport,
the GWC Al Wukair Logistics Park fosters a 1.5 million square meter
park dedicated to logistics and light industry infrastructure
needed for the success of micro, small, medium, and large
enterprises alike. With every type of warehousing, workshops, and
showrooms available, as well as access to GWC’s full range of
supply chain solutions.
ATM38T
ATM38T is the only native electric tractor of the market
deployed at more than 45 different sites in Europe.
Build from a blank page with the largest logistic and industrial
companies, the ATM provides better TCO than diesel and
diesel-converted-to-electric tractors thanks to its specific design
allowing simplified and reduced maintenance compared to traditional
diesel trucks.
The ATM integrates industry exclusive ergonomics and safety
features. The proven battery swapping system allows continuous
operations without immobilization of the vehicle for charging
operations.
Yard Automation
Since 2013, Gaussin has been developing its own Autonomous
Driving systems for its electric, self-driving vehicles, and has
integrated world class partner systems and software to provide the

Gaussin’s Autonomous driving stack includes world-class
components that enable fully autonomous operations in mixed traffic
within gated areas.
The Yard automation solution that will be deployed will include
the latest version of Gaussin Virtual Driver®, Gaussin Fleet
Management System and the embedded robotic arm.
