Jerusalem, 15 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — DriveU.auto, a Ra’anana-based developer of industrial autonomy systems, said Monday it has received a strategic investment from Israel’s Ashdod Port Company through its Blue Ocean CVC arm, following a successful proof-of-concept of its Autonomous Terminal Tractor at the port.
The pilot was carried out in live operational conditions at Ashdod Port. The system converts existing terminal tractors into autonomous vehicles using a retrofit kit, allowing ports to deploy automation without replacing fleets.
DriveU.auto said the partnership will accelerate development of its Physical AI platform, which combines autonomy with remote human oversight to maintain continuous operations in complex environments.
