We are committed to diversity and inclusion, fostering a team culture where differences are seen as a steppingstone to better results.

Welcome to the team
Imagine a future where trucks and machines are driving around without a physical operator in the cab. Normal operation is completely autonomous, and vehicles are stopping automatically for electrical charging. Everything is under surveillance from a central control room, where operators can teleoperate vehicles based on video feedback when needed. This will change people’s daily work environment and eliminate dangerous work conditions.
Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? You now have the chance to join the team and make this a reality!
