T-log autonomous vehicle can ferry felled forests without human help

Driverless trucks could soon help ferry felled logs from remote locations. Swedish tech start-up Einride has revealed the T-log, an autonomous, all-electric logging truck designed to replace the polluting diesel trucks currently used. Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, it has no driver's cab but can be remote-controlled by a human operator, from hundreds of miles away. Fleet of T-logs will be coordinated by an intelligent routing system, optimizing delivery time, battery life and energy consumption, making the transport as efficient as possible, the firm behind it says. Robert Falck, the CEO of Einride, the firm behind the truck, said: 'The driver's cab is what makes trucks expensive to produce, and having a driver in the cabin is what makes them expensive to operate.
