1.    The PERFORMANCE® ultra-fast charge FULL ELEC AGV: GAUSSIN’s 70-tonne automated big robot 

In
May 2016 (see press release dated 11 May
2016), Groupe GAUSSIN received an order from a Singapore port operator for
two FULL ELEC AGVs. The order was issued as part of an initial call for tenders
for the Singapore port automation programme.

The
PERFORMANCE FULL ELEC AGVs were designed and produced under a co-development
agreement between GAUSSIN and the local port authority that includes shipment
of the vehicles plus three fast charge FULL ELEC PowerPacks and their delivery
in March 2018. This key milestone culminated in a Certificate of Final
Completion (SAT) marking the final validation of the two vehicles. While the
tests were underway in Singapore, GAUSSIN field experts provided comprehensive
training on site.
