Heavy cargo infrastructure for growth corridor ports.

ASH Robotic is building the electric heavy cargo infrastructure for the world's growth corridor ports. We are raising a seed round to fund the first port pilot.

The thesis
01

A five year window

IMO 2030, port level zero emission rules and the diesel TCO crossover make heavy port electrification a now or never opportunity.

02

Built for growth corridor ports

ASH targets the world's fastest growing port corridors, where heavy cargo volume is expanding fastest, zero emission mandates are sharpening, and the next generation of port infrastructure will be built. We are built with the operational depth, supply chains and engineering presence to deploy at a speed global incumbents will not match.

03

Infrastructure, not vehicles

Vehicles and swap stations sold as one system. Every additional truck locks into the swap protocol, a logistical moat that compounds with each deployment.

Landscape

The market is not empty.

Heavy port electrification is contested. We map the field, and our edge against each player.

Humble Robotics

Their angle

US cabless hauler, charge based, universal cargo platform.

Our edge

Under three minute battery swap and port to dry port corridor reach.

Westwell Q Truck

Their angle

Closest peer, China only deployment, fixed corridors.

Our edge

Deployable outside China, modular swap network, oversized cargo.

Kalmar · Konecranes

Their angle

Retrofit electric, port handling incumbents.

Our edge

Clean sheet electric, lower TCO, autonomy from day one.

VDL ETS

Their angle

Western AGV, fast charge, container only.

Our edge

Battery swap, oversized cargo, growth corridor reach.

Diesel terminal tractors

Their angle

Today's reality at most ports worldwide.

Our edge

Zero emissions, no fuel logistics, autonomous from day one.

Where ASH is today
  • /01Heavy electric drivetrain architecture: defined.
  • /02Modular battery pack and swap interface: specified as the platform standard.
  • /03ASH P1 vehicle and swap station: detailed engineering design complete; subsystem builds in progress.
  • /04Founding team: mechanical engineering (Founder), electrical engineering (Cofounder), software stack on open source autonomy.
  • /05Active dialogue with port operators.
The round

We are raising a seed round to fund three milestones:

/01

Build and field test the first deployable ASH P1.

/02

Install the first ASH Swap station at a launch partner port.

/03

Run the first paid pilot, end to end.
