GAUSSIN and ST Engineering LS have won a contract for 86 Full Elec AGVs 65 tons to equip the Port of Singapore

A 1st tranche has been awarded as part of the Tuas Megaport project in Singapore

HERICOURT, FRANCE - EQS - 25 March 2019 - GAUSSIN Manugistique (EURONEXT GROWTH FR0010342329) has announced that its 100% autonomous, 100% electric AGV PERFORMANCE® 65 tons vehicle has been selected by the operator of the port of Singapore for its Tuas Megaport extension project.

A firm order for a 1st tranche of 86 AGV PERFORMANCE® vehicles has been received by ST Engineering Land System, Gaussin's partner and licensee for the territory of Singapore.

This emblematic contract from one of the world's leading port operators validates the technological advance, know-how, robustness and reliability of the Gaussin autonomous patented vehicles trialled in Singapore since 2018.

This order for 86 AGV PERFORMANCE® will generate turnover for GAUSSIN from the 1st half of 2019 via the licence granted to ST Engineering Land System, the latter financing the entire project.

The Tuas Megaport project, which is intended to provide Singapore with state-of-the-art port infrastructure, will double its capacity to 65 million containers (TEU) shipped annually in the medium term, and will eventually increase this figure to 100 million containers.

A total of 2,000 AGVs will be needed for the 1st phase, and regular invitations to tender will be issued over a period of 10 years.

GAUSSIN announced at the beginning of last October (cf. press release dated 2 October 2018) the signing of an exclusive 20-year contract - until 2038 -, including an upfront fee and royalties on future sales, with the land systems division of ST Engineering, a Singapore-based multinational specialising in defence and engineering technology listed on the Singapore stock exchange, enabling it to manufacture, promote, distribute and sell the ultra fast-loading FULL ELEC AGV PERFORMANCE® vehicles in Singapore.
