GAtik

Gatik has removed the safety driver from daily routes it is running for Loblaw Companies in Canada.

While the focus is on Gatik’s self-driving technology, plenty of work goes on behind the scenes to secure state approvals for on-road operation.

Pitney Bowes is the second major customer in Texas to deploy Gatik’s Class 6 autonomous trucks.

Cummins will integrate Gatik’s autonomous vehicle technology with its own drive-by-wire software for use on Isuzu Class 6 FTR box trucks using Cummins’ B6.7 engine.

With a long list of heavy-hitting customers that include Walmart, Loblaw and most recently Georgia-Pacific, Gatik has demonstrated that commercially successful autonomous delivery is happening first in a constrained environment, on fixed, repeatable short-haul routes.

KBX Logistics is using 26-foot autonomous trucks from Gatik to replace some Class 8 routes in Texas.

Autonomous technology company Gatik will expand operations in Kansas.

Gatik founder and CEO Gautam Narang said autonomous middle-mile trucks can replace traditional Class 8 tractor-trailers along fixed, repeatable routes.

Gatik CEO Gautam Narang will detail middle-mile autonomy’s role in the future of the supply chain at FreightWaves’ upcoming The Future of Supply Chain conference.

Chargepoint will provide electric vehicle charging infrastructure for Gatik customers in the U.S. and Canada.
