The autonomous shuttle bus of Easymile, the EZ10, is at the TLD facility of Sorigny
Our partnership with Easymile moves on. After the first Tracteasy tests (the autonomous TLD baggage tractor JET-16) near Toulouse in the South-West of France, followed by tests in May at a car manufacturing plant in Sochaux, France, Easymile and TLD deploy an autonomous bus EZ 10 on the TLD manufacturing site of Sorigny. With a capacity of 12 people, driving at 25 km/h, the EZ10 will operate daily within our industrial site to transport the employees and the customers during their site visits/tours, from the test rig where all our TLD towbarless and pushback tractors are fully tested, all the way to the corporate restaurant.
The technology embedded in the EZ10 is the same as for the Tracteasy, volume and positioning lidars, GPS, odometer and lasers. This electrical shuttle bus drives fully autonomously, from a station to another, scanning permanently the environment to adapt to it permanently and react to any unexpected fix or mobile obstacles. We are looking forward to your next visit in Sorigny to experiencing a new journey on-board the EZ10!

Autonomous Vehicles

Automation systems once only moved within the Science Fiction world, populating the dreams of generations of Star Trek fans, but have now dramatically accelerated over the last few years to be a part of our daily life. The development of available technologies to meet growing needs has influenced this acceleration but warp drive speeds were reached with the developments of TESLA or Google Cars (today known as WAYMO), forcing society to accept this reality and start to adapt to it. Star Trek fans now manage our R&D centers!

Aero Specialties is committed to humanitarian

Cheerful greetings, conversations about family members, or simply delivering an employee a much-needed cup of coffee are standards for us at AERO.  Our compassion leads the way in all we do during our work days so, it’s of little surprise when our Traffic Coordinator, Christine Burke, suggested we contribute to the victims of Hurricane Harvey.  No sooner was it suggested that it became all hands-on deck!   Within 24 hours, with the coordination of Michael Wagner, Purchasing, and Scott Sawyer, Packing and Shipping, and with the generosity of Pilot Freight, hundreds of dollars of non-perishables were sent to the Red Cross for distribution to the disaster and rescue centers throughout the area devastated by Hurricane Harvey.

It’s not altruism that compels us, at AERO, to reach out to those in affliction.  It is our heart and we wear it proudly.
