Abstract

A floor-bound heavy duty transport vehicle for transporting ISO containers, which, in an initial state, can be operated exclusively in a non-automated operating mode by an operator and can be freely displaced by means of wheels having pneumatic rubber tires. The vehicle comprises a driver's cab having a non-automated control system for non-automated steering, non-automated motion control and non-automated braking, which vehicle can optionally also be used in an automated mode. For this purpose, the heavy duty transport vehicle can be converted such that it can also be operated in an automated mode without a driver and has at least one second installation space for antennae for the conversion.
