VDA5050 is an interoperability standard created to establish a common interface among multiple automated guided vehicle (AGV) and AMR providers.

Key Points: 
  • VDA5050 is an interoperability standard created to establish a common interface among multiple automated guided vehicle (AGV) and AMR providers.
  • However, these benefits cannot be fully realized until all AGV and AMR vendors ensure their robots are VDA5050 compliant, as OTTO Motors has already accomplished.
  • Along with InOrbit and Ekumen, OTTO Motors has made even further strides toward interoperability by being the first vendor to make our VDA5050 connector open source.
  • "Supporting VDA5050 is a significant milestone for OTTO Motors," said Jay Judkowitz, Vice President of Product at OTTO Motors.

Affected Nissan diesel trucks are installed with the defective Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel injection fuel pump and can fail suddenly and without warning at any time, causing a total fuel system failure and consequential engine failure.

Key Points: 
  • Affected Nissan diesel trucks are installed with the defective Bosch CP4 high-pressure fuel injection fuel pump and can fail suddenly and without warning at any time, causing a total fuel system failure and consequential engine failure.
  • The trucks retail for approximately $40,000 to $80,000, and comparable diesel trucks are traditionally expected to last 500,000-800,000 miles.
  • The CP4 pump was designed and built to the specifications of European diesel, not U.S. diesel fuel, which is less lubricous.
  • When used with U.S. diesel, parts of the CP4 fuel injector can wear down, generating metal shavings that contaminate the fuel system.
