Some moments confirm the path we are on; others inspire the future.
ATLoS’s recognition at the 2024 VINCI Environment Awards in the ‘Acting for the Climate, Mitigation – Mobility‘ category represents much more than mere institutional recognition. It is international validation of the vision that has always guided the development of the platform: creating solutions that can make industrial logistics more efficient, safer and more sustainable.
Developed in Portugal and already implemented in a real industrial setting, ATLoS technology proves that innovation is valuable only when it addresses the industry’s concrete challenges and helps to accelerate the transition to smarter, more environmentally responsible operations.
This award reaffirms ATLoS’s and the ProCME Group’s commitment to technological innovation, sustainability, and building the industry of the future.
VINCI is a shareholder of ProCME Group, of which ATLos is the technology brand.
A RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF MODERN INDUSTRY
The transformation of industry requires solutions that can address multiple challenges simultaneously.
Reducing carbon emissions, optimising resources, increasing logistical efficiency and creating safer working environments are now strategic objectives for companies worldwide. ATLoS was created precisely to address this reality.
ATLoS solutions combine electric autonomous vehicles, intelligent navigation systems, centralised operational management and continuous monitoring. This enables the efficient, safe and sustainable automation of goods transport in industrial environments. Rather than merely replacing traditional processes, this solution is designed to transform the organisation and management of industrial logistics.
INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED INNOVATION
The award, presented by the VINCI Group, is the result of an international evaluation process that brought together projects developed across different regions and sectors. The ATLoS solution (Autonomous Vehicle Line) was initially selected by VINCI’s Environmental Committee as one of the most promising proposals in the field of sustainable mobility.
Subsequently, ATLoS won the ‘Acting for the Climate, Mitigation – Mobility Awards’ category, which recognises projects that demonstrate a significant contribution to mitigating environmental impact and creating innovative mobility solutions.
Out of around a thousand projects submitted, ATLoS was one of twelve winning projects, highlighting the international significance of the technology developed in Portugal and the ability of the ProCME Group to create solutions with a global impact.
ATLOS DEVELOPs SOLUTIONS TO TRANSFORM INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS
This international recognition stems from the integration of various technological components to create a comprehensive autonomous mobility solution. Solutions developed by the ATLoS team incorporate autonomous electric vehicles, advanced navigation systems, continuous monitoring and intelligent operational management. This enables the automation of all critical stages of industrial transport.
This goes far beyond autonomous driving, incorporating automated docks to enable fully automated loading and unloading processes that require no human intervention and are 100 per cent safe. To ensure 24/7 operations with no additional downtime, the batteries are charged at the docks during operational cycles, guaranteeing continuous availability with no stoppages. Centralised fleet management via the Fleet Management software provides full control over the process and enables the traceability of transport operations. This integration allows for more efficient operations, reduces downtime, increases vehicle availability, and ensures high safety levels throughout the entire process.
This integrated vision of autonomous mobility sets ATLoS apart on the international stage.
RECOGNITION WITH REAL IMPACT
The VINCI Environment Awards recognise projects capable of generating sustainable value through innovation.
In the case of ATLoS, this recognition highlights the solution’s contribution to a new generation of industrial operations.
Decarbonisation of logistics
The use of 100% electric autonomous vehicles helps to reduce emissions associated with industrial transport and supports organisations’ decarbonisation targets.
Greater operational efficiency
The automation of logistics flows enables the optimisation of resources, a reduction in operating times and an increase in the productivity of industrial processes.
Enhanced safety
Reducing human intervention in repetitive tasks and in high-risk areas helps to create safer working environments.
Technology developed in Portugal
This international accolade recognises the capacity of Portuguese engineering to develop innovative and competitive technological solutions on a global scale.
Innovation validated on the international stage
The award demonstrates that ATLoS meets the highest standards of innovation, sustainability and environmental impact as assessed by the VINCI Group.
A vision for the future
More than simply recognising a technological solution, this accolade reinforces a long-term vision of the role of autonomous mobility in transforming the industry.
WHEN INNOVATION MAKES AN IMPACT, RECOGNITION FOLLOWS NATURALLY
The value of major technological advances is not determined solely by the complexity of the underlying engineering. Rather, they are judged by their capacity to enhance processes, generate value for organisations, and promote a more sustainable future. ATLoS’s recognition at the 2024 VINCI Environment Awards represents precisely this. It confirms that a solution developed in Portugal can address the industry’s global challenges, demonstrating that innovation, sustainability, and efficiency can go hand in hand.
This is more than just an award; it is a sign of confidence in ATLoS’s ongoing commitment to developing autonomous mobility solutions that are transforming industrial logistics today and will continue to do so in the decades to come.
