Today MRV's FERNRIDE announced a major step toward the Machinery Directive and CE conformity - helping to unlock the path to commercialization and scale across the EU. Congrats, team!
🚀 Milestone Alert: FERNRIDE Completes External Safety & Security Evaluation by TÜV SÜD 🚀 FERNRIDE's safety & security concept for autonomous terminal tractors has successfully passed TÜV SÜD’s rigorous evaluation. This milestone marks an essential step in preparation for the autonomous driving tests without a safety driver present in the vehicle. The first driverless tests are scheduled to start as early as December 2024. With our safety concept – the first of its kind in the EU - we are pioneering the way towards compliance according to the Machinery Directive and fully CE-certified autonomous terminal tractors, aiming to set a benchmark for safety standards in autonomous trucking from the EU and globally. Here’s what this milestone means: 🔹 TÜV SÜD’s comprehensive assessment validates the strength of our safety concept, covering risk analyses, specifications, and safety function validation. 🔹 We’re setting a benchmark in compliance, aligning with the Machinery Directive, and aiming for fully CE-certified autonomous terminal tractors. 🔹 This accomplishment also prepares us for upcoming driverless tests, scheduled to begin as early as December 2024! As Hendrik Kramer, CEO & Co-Founder of FERNRIDE, states, "Being a deep-tech startup, we put a strong focus on industrializing a safe and secure product, so we are very pleased with the positive outcome of the evaluation by TÜV SÜD." "Working with FERNRIDE is very solution-oriented and the topic of safety is taken very seriously. We are regularly provided with new and adapted safety concepts for review. Not only are existing protection concepts skilfully implemented, but new technological approaches are also developed. This combination could make FERNRIDE one of the first manufacturers with a CE-compliant solution for autonomous port applications." Benedikt Pulver, Head of the machine safety department at TÜV SÜD, comments on the project. A huge congratulations to our teams on achieving this important milestone and a thank you to our colleagues at TÜV SÜD for their support and expertise. We’re not just driving innovation—we’re doing it safely. 🚛 🔒 Read the full press release on our website: Link in the comment section 🔗 👇 #AutonomousTrucking #AutonomousDrivingSafety #HumanAssistedAutonomy #FERNRIDE #FutureOfLogistics #LogisticsInnovation

We're thrilled to be along for the ride with Starfish Space's latest funding round, which will support the launch of three full-size satellite servicing and inspection spacecraft in 2026! Their spacecraft is designed for two missions: extending the operational life of expensive satellites in geostationary orbit and disposing of defunct satellites in low Earth orbit - a series of capabilities that have never been available for satellite operators previously. Congrats, team, on this huge milestone!
