September 2025 — The logistics industry has a new game-changer: the autonomous Bradshaw T800, developed through a partnership between Oxa and Bradshaw Electric Vehicles. This powerful electric tow tractor, capable of towing up to 8 tonnes, brings self-driving technology to some of the most demanding industrial environments, including airports, warehouses, distribution hubs, and manufacturing plants.
A Step Forward in Autonomous Logistics
The Bradshaw T800 is powered by Oxa Driver, a self-driving software platform designed for scalable industrial applications. By integrating Oxa’s advanced autonomy system with Bradshaw’s proven manufacturing expertise, the T800 delivers efficiency, safety, and sustainability benefits that traditional tow tractors can’t match.
Operating autonomously around the clock, the T800 increases fleet uptime and productivity by eliminating breaks and shift handovers. It can seamlessly integrate with ERP and WMS systems, enabling real-time status updates and dynamic task allocation.
Safety is at the core of the design. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, the T800 detects obstacles, adjusts routes, and prevents collisions. Dynamic zone management gives operators direct control over site safety, while fire safety integration ensures the vehicle automatically relocates to safe zones during emergencies.
Cost reduction is another major advantage. By minimizing labor expenses, optimizing acceleration and braking, and lowering maintenance requirements, the T800 offers a significantly reduced total cost of ownership. At the same time, its zero-emission electric motor supports sustainability and ESG targets.
