Autonomous Vehicles at Singapore Changi Airport



Ever wondered how your bags make their way from the terminal to your airplane? 🧳✨ We bring you a sneak peek into the world of baggage handling at Singapore Changi Airport, featuring the mighty Auto-Dolly and Auto-DollyTug.

These autonomous vehicles are being trialled to replace the driving of baggage tractors that typically require the highest number of drivers in the airside. See if you can spot them in action from the transit areas before you board the airplane from Singapore!

The Auto-Dolly is an autonomous individual baggage trailer, while the Auto-DollyTug is a tug variant of the machine, designed to tow three additional trailers so they can transport larger quantities of air cargo. These machines are programmed to autonomously pick up Unit Load Devices (ULD) filled with your luggage from airport terminals and transport them onto pallet loaders with the help of autonomous mechanical arms before the containers are moved into the aircraft.

We’re the first airport in the world to test the ability of such driverless systems to autonomously load and unload ULDs at the aircraft stand.

These high-tech wonders can also navigate the bustling airside roadways safely: they’ll steer away from obstacles and stop for workers on the ground, ensuring everyone’s safety while keeping the airport running like clockwork. 🚛

Our drivers are freed up to focus on other critical functions, ultimately improving overall efficiency and transforming the way we travel. ✈️

Discover how these robotic marvels are set to revolutionise operations at Changi Airport, making us the best globally. Hit that “play” button and embark on a journey into the future of air travel in Singapore and beyond with Changi Airport!
