Recently, the China Navigation Society's group standard "Intelligent Container Trailer" (T/CIN 009-2023), jointly formulated by TRUNK.TECH and the Water Transport Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport and other units, has been officially released. This standard focuses on the intelligent container trailer, the main transportation carrier of smart ports, and effectively and clearly establishes the full process product standards for intelligent container trailers from design to production to application, laying an important foundation for the country to build a world-class green, intelligent, and sustainable development smart port.
At present, the construction and development of China's smart ports have gathered the three major elements of "favorable timing," "geographical advantage," and "harmonious people," making it the best time for the intelligent transformation and upgrading of ports. With the strong support and guidance of national policies and the accelerated integration of port group resources, the practice and large-scale construction of smart ports have laid an important foundation. At the same time, cutting-edge technologies represented by new-generation artificial intelligence and unmanned driving technology are rapidly landing, providing strong technical conditions for the informatization, digitalization, automation, and intelligentization of ports. The construction of smart ports has entered the "fast lane," and more than ten large ports in China have completed the construction and upgrade of automated container terminals. Intelligent container trailers are one of the main equipment for horizontal transportation in automated container terminals and are gradually becoming an important development direction for horizontal transportation equipment in automated container terminals.As a national high-tech enterprise in artificial intelligence that has been deeply involved in the construction of smart ports since its establishment, TRUNK.TECH has pioneered the "AiTruck" Unmanned Container Truck based on high standards, entering the port scene and achieving the "removal of safety personnel" in the unmanned container truck fleet operation in a leading industry speed. In cooperation with Tianjin Port Group, they have created two major initiatives: "The World’s First Port Driverless Demonstration Zone" (Traditional Terminal Automation Upgrade Project) and the "The World’s First Zero-carbon Smart Terminal" (New Automated Terminal Project).
It is precisely based on years of practical experience in the construction of smart ports and benchmark landing cases that TRUNK.TECH actively collaborates with the Water Transport Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, Rizhao Port Group Co., Ltd. of Shandong Port, Xiamen Container Terminals Group Co., Ltd., Tianjin Port (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (Group) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Automotive Group Co., Ltd., and Jiangsu Sugang Intelligent Equipment Industry Innovation Center Co., Ltd., among other units, to jointly formulate the China Navigation Society's group standard "Intelligent Container Trailer". The standard stipulates the product classification, composition, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation, and storage requirements for intelligent container trailers. It effectively guides and regulates the design, manufacturing, and use of intelligent container trailers. The formulation and release of this standard fully comply with the overall requirements for high-quality port development in the "Outline for Building a Strong Transportation Country," "National Standardization Development Outline," and "Transportation Standardization Development Plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan." It is of great significance for promoting the deep integration of autonomous driving technology with the transportation industry, advancing the intelligent development of ports, and leading the construction of smart ports.
At this stage, TRUNK.TECH has collaborated with major domestic commercial vehicle manufacturers such as China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC), FAW Jiefang, and XCMG Group to mass-produce the "AiTruck" Unmanned Container Trucks. These trucks offer a variety of top-quality vehicle models to choose from. The outstanding "AiTrucker" L4 Autonomous Driving System already possesses 360-degree omni-directional intelligent perception, 5-centimeter high-precision intelligent positioning, intelligent control in various complex scenarios, and the capability for fully unmanned operation in deep mixed traffic within ports. It safely and stably "drives" unmanned container trucks to meet the intelligent level transportation needs in deep mixed traffic and fully unmanned scenarios.
Not only leading but also committed to innovation, with the commercial verification and replication promotion of multiple smart port projects, TRUNK.TECH has not only established the largest port unmanned driving fleet in the world but has also become one of the ”Mot The First Batch Of Pilot Projects For Intelligent Transportation Pilot Applications”, and a "National-level Autonomous Driving Application Pilot Demonstration Project," among other national and provincial-level projects. It actively participates in national project construction and standard setting, creating higher-quality autonomous driving products and services, continuously expanding the application boundaries of autonomous driving technology, and insisting on using technology to empower the development of the physical industry, leading the intelligent logistics to upgrade and develop sustainably.
