Cargotec testing centre on track

Manufacturer Cargotec is to invest E35m ($48.4m) in a testing centre in Tampere, Finland.

The company’s Technology and Competence Centre will be located on a ten-hectare industrial site close to Tampere University of Technology and is expected to be operational in December 2012.

The site will host Cargotec’s most extensive test area, allowing for testing and simulation of various solutions, including automated equipment and fleets, navigation systems and remote steering and control.
