222. Setting the Standard in Autonomous Middle Mile Delivery

SAE Tomorrow Today

Autonomous box trucks that can move goods on short-haul B2B routes? It’s possible – and North America’s largest grocers, retailers, distributors, and e-commerce platforms are unlocking the benefits.

.

As the leader in autonomous middle mile delivery, Gatik is improving supply chain efficiency with their fleet of medium duty, class 3-7 autonomous box trucks. By moving goods safely and efficiently between distribution centers, fulfillment centers, stores and warehouses, Gatik is optimizing regional distribution networks for major customers like Walmart, Kroger, Loblaw, Tyson Foods, and Pitney Bowes.

.

With operations across multiple markets including Texas, Arkansas and Ontario, Gatik has more than 60 trucks on the road today and operates the largest revenue-generating commercial fleet of autonomous trucks on the continent.

To learn more, we sat down with Dr. Adam Campbell, Senior Manager, Safety Innovation and Impact, to discuss the company’s safety-first approach to the development and commercialization of autonomous middle-mile delivery and how Gatik will evolve over the next decade.
