Munich-based FERNRIDE has partnered with global manufacturer JOST to tackle key logistics challenges like decarbonisation, automation, and driver shortage.
As part of the collaboration project, JOST and FERNRIDE are pooling their experience and resources to create scalable solutions that automate truck operations in closed operational domains such as logistics facilities and depots.
The long-term objective is to address industrial difficulties, increase productivity for trained people, and improve operational safety by using highly automated solutions in these specialised areas.

Hendrik Kramer, CEO and Co-Founder of FERNRIDE, stated: “The logistics industry cannot afford disruptions or downtime from new technology integration.
“That is why our gradual integration approach is so effective. Success in this industry’s transformation requires collaboration with trusted partners and industry leaders, working together to ensure a smooth, seamless transition.”
