Peripass vision

No autonomous logistics
without autonomous yards.

Our vision for how logistics becomes autonomous.

At Peripass, we believe the road to autonomous logistics will unfold in stages. Autonomous trucks will first prove themselves on predictable long-haul routes. But logistics does not end on the highway. The hubs, yards and physical infrastructure around every movement have to evolve too.

See how we believe it will evolve

The road to autonomous logistics

One journey, four shifts.

Step 1

Autonomous long-haul

Predictable highway routes automate first. We expect autonomous corridors to connect ports and industrial regions before anything else changes.

Step 2

Transfer hubs bridge the transition

Autonomous long-haul hands over to human-driven local transport near ports and industrial areas. We see the hub as designed logistics infrastructure, not a parking lot.

Step 3

Yards evolve towards autonomy

The same yard, three stages. The shift we expect is not new hardware on a new site — it is a yard that moves from reacting to trucks to knowing what is coming.

  1. Stage 1

    Manual

    Guardhouses, phone calls, paperwork and manual dispatching. The yard reacts to whatever pulls up at the gate.

  2. Stage 2

    Automated

    Self-service arrivals, connected infrastructure and automated workflows. The routine stops being handled by hand.

  3. Stage 3

    Autonomous

    Arrivals, access and movements are coordinated automatically. The yard knows what is coming and prepares for it.

Step 4

From one yard to many

Multiple yards can increasingly be coordinated centrally, while people focus on the exceptions. The system runs the routine itself; only what matters surfaces.

The connected yard

The yard has to think as one system.

Autonomy does not come from one camera, one barrier or one piece of software. It comes from connecting the physical and digital environment around every movement.

  1. Detect

    Cameras, ANPR and sensors register the arrival.

  2. Know

    Transport, load and appointment are matched.

  3. Decide

    The destination and the next step are determined.

  4. Move

    Barriers respond, the route lights up, the truck moves.

What this unlocks

When the yard is ready, autonomy can go further.

As yards become more connected and autonomous, vehicles no longer need to stop at the edge of an autonomous corridor. The yard already knows what is arriving, when it will arrive, what it is carrying and where it needs to go. We expect that to create the conditions for autonomous vehicles to travel directly into autonomous-ready sites.

Transfer hubs still matter

The hub doesn't disappear.

Transfer hubs remain important nodes for waiting, staging, handovers, checks, charging and shared services — helping keep congestion away from industrial sites and optimising the wider transport network.

The big vision

  • Hubs.
  • Yards.
  • Vehicles.
  • Infrastructure.
  • Data.
  • People.

Orchestrated as one network.

That is autonomous logistics.

We see this evolving from a single yard outward: yards, transfer hubs, an industrial area, a port, a wider network — physical movements and information flows operating together.
