Semcon will deploy two autonomous snow ploughs to operate at Oslo airport in Norway from January 2019. The technology is expected to allow the airport to streamline activities and reduce delays for passengers.
John Emil Halden, project manager at Semcon, says: “Our aim is to complete 40 operations to ensure that the system is working as intended and see how we can develop it further.”
The initiative serves as an extension of the Yeti Project, in which 20 autonomous snow ploughs were trialled at Norway

The project was developed by Yeti Snow Technology and is co-owned by Semcon and equipment provider Øveraasen, for Norwegian airport operator
