An industrial truck is configured to carry a load and having an autonomous/assisted driving function for approaching an apparatus configured to interact with the industrial truck for performing loading/unloading operations of the truck. The industrial truck comprises a control unit configured for controlling the autonomous/assisted driving function; at least a camera configured to capture images of an environment of the industrial truck, the at least one camera being connected to the control unit for providing the control unit with an image signal related to the captured images. The control unit is configured to detect, based on the image signal, an optical marker in the environment, wherein the control unit is configured to determine a relative position of the industrial truck with respect to the detected marker based on the image signal. The control unit is further configured to acquire information related to the optical marker, the information defining a target position to be reached by the industrial truck relative to the optical marker for performing the loading/unloading operations, wherein the control unit is further configured to control the autonomous/assisted driving function based on the determined relative position of the industrial truck with respect to the detected optical marker and on the information related to the optical marker, in order to reach the target position.
