Narita International Airport to Conduct Automated Freight Road Demonstration

Narita International Airport will conduct a demonstration experiment for an automated freight road.

The project will be carried out jointly with Chiba Prefecture, Obayashi Corporation, Cuebus, and NTT DATA. It has been selected for a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism demonstration project aimed at the social implementation of automated freight roads in fiscal 2026. Starting from cargo facilities within the airport, the partners aim to build a logistics system connecting locations within the airport, adjacent public roads, and surrounding logistics areas. In addition to autonomous operation by multiple transport units, the project will verify technologies intended for actual operations, including cargo-handling work.

An automated freight road is a system that transports cargo using unmanned and automated vehicles powered by clean energy within logistics-dedicated spaces on roads.

The demonstration will be conducted at facilities within Narita International Airport. Further details will be announced once decided.
