This vehicle has the capacity therefore to carry 1.5 tons and tow a further 7.5 tons. Further, the vehicle can be operated in autonomous mode or driven in manual mode by a driver. The vehicle can even be manufactured as a manually driven vehicle only. This is a huge improvement from today’s manually driven tugs which are mostly diesel, cannot carry a load and are only able to tow. Current tugs take up space in baggage halls where an Auto-Dolly Tug could do the same job but with the advantage of carrying a ULD. This would lead to significant improvement in the utilisation of the baggage hall space and operation for moving ULDs.
