Global AI company Westwell is deploying its 'AI + New Energy' strategy to air cargo operations, combining autonomous execution with intelligent decision-making to boost efficiency and sustainability, reported PR Newswire.

The company's dual-AI architecture includes Physical AI for frontline autonomous tasks and Operational AI for logistics management. Its Q-Tractor, powered by the Q-Pilot platform, integrates electric drive, advanced perception, and safety systems to enable unmanned cargo loading and unloading with zero emissions.

Westwell's ReeWell operations platform and WellFMS fleet system provide real-time dispatching, route optimization, and coordinated decision-making across flights, vehicles, and energy resources. The solutions are already in use at Hong Kong International Airport, Shanghai Pudong, and Ezhou Huahu, with new projects secured in Fuzhou and Xiamen.

In 2025, Westwell received approval to deploy autonomous tractors at Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited, enhancing productivity and supporting green transformation. At Shanghai Pudong, the company is also developing an AI-based runway inspection system that combines autonomous vehicles, radar, and recognition algorithms.

As airports balance efficiency, resilience, and sustainability, AI-native systems are expected to play a growing role in air cargo infrastructure. Westwell stated that its vision is to build collaborative ecosystems where people, intelligent vehicles, and AI systems work together more safely and efficiently.
