Abstract
Across Europe, the logistics sector is entering a pivotal phase as technological advances, regulatory developments, and operational needs increasingly align. Although automated freight systems are evolving quickly, the transition from controlled pilots to large-scale, real-
life deployment remains challenging. The MODI project addresses this gap by demonstrating how highly automated freight vehicles can operate effectively in real world conditions. Centred on the Rotterdam–Oslo logistics corridor, MODI brings together industry partners, authorities, and infrastructure providers to test and advance automated freight transport solutions.
Within this corridor, MODI explores five distinct use cases spanning both confined terminal areas and public roads. Together, they illustrate the full spectrum of operational challenges: from access control and charging to border crossings, interactions with other traffic, driving on highways and urban environments, loading and unloading operations, and transitions between confined and public environments.
Four regional use cases are located in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and Norway, while the fifth covers the full corridor from Rotterdam to Oslo:
• The Netherlands: Port operations
• Germany: Motorway to harbour
• Sweden: Hub-to-hub
• Norway: Border to port
• UC CCAM test corridor
This report focuses on Use Case Norway (UC NO).
The purpose of this document is to describe the performed demonstration activities of the use-case, provide an identification of the different sub-use-cases, the challenges and solutions demonstrated and the partners’ involvement and roles.
The document will describe each sub-use-case separately and provide a description of the vehicles, equipment and physical and digital infrastructure used.
This document will also describe any limitations and constraints that need to be taken into consideration when performing the demonstration activities.
The document will also list how the demonstration activities have been documented in the form of pictures, videos, media coverage, etc. and links
