Autonomous freight for industrial sites – and beyond.
Today, that means one thing: the gap between buildings – the last manual meters of industrial logistics.
Built by the people who spent years in the problem
Fifteen years in transport infrastructure. Decades across hardware engineering, software
development and logistics
When freight moves in the background, space returns to people.
Inside the buildings, freight already moves silently and precisely. Outside, it’s still fleets of trucks
and forklifts – taking up space, burning energy, putting people at risk.
ecoro changes that – starting with one thing: outdoor pallet transport between buildings, with terminals, shuttles and lane orchestrated by one operating system, the ecoro Control Center. From there, the same system scales – to campuses, industrial parks, and eventually dedicated freight
corridors that return surface space to people. Permanently.
The most expensive meters in logistics
Labor disappearing. Costs exploding. Automation incomplete.
CEO Daniel Daum saw it for fifteen years: on every multi-building site, precision automation inside every building – and forklifts in every yard. The reason nobody had solved it: the space between buildings sat between two industries. Too outdoor for warehouse automation. Too closed-off for open-road autonomy. So nobody owned it. ecoro brought together the people to change that – transport infrastructure, hardware and software engineering, logistics operations. One team, built around one problem.
ecoro was founded to own that space. A dedicated pallet transport system for outdoor operations, built on the one constraint that makes it deployable today: a closed lane on private premises, under EC Machinery Directive – not public-road AV regulation.”
The constraint is the design principle. It is why deployment takes months, not years – and why the system stays radically simpler, and radically cheaper, than any intelligent vehicle built to survive the open road.
From structural problem to active deployment.
No milestone before its riskiest assumption was tested. Outdoor autonomy came first – the system followed.

ecoro contributes to six UN Sustainable Development Goals.
With zero-emission logistics innovation, ecoro removes forklifts from outdoor environments, eliminates diesel emissions on that route, and returns space to people. Because we believe that automation should not compete with people for space, safety, or quality of life.
