Tyson Foods and Gatik announced a joint project aimed at putting autonomous trucks to work hauling refrigerated products in Arkansas.
Gatik will deploy multiple autonomous trucks for Kroger, transporting shipments consisting of groceries, foodstuffs, and general merchandise on a continuous service loop from Kroger’s Distribution Center.
Gatik is now moving select online grocery orders with a fleet of multi-temperature autonomous box trucks.
Gatik’s medium-duty, Class 6 autonomous fleet will transport high-priority shipments for Pitney Bowes.
Under the collaboration, Cummins will utilize its powertrain software suite to enable Drive-by-wire (DbW) for Gatik’s Class 6 Isuzu FTR fleet with the Cummins B6.7 engine.
Gatik's class 6 autonomous box trucks will deliver goods to 34 Sam’s Club locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex within the Georgia-Pacific-KBX on-road transportation network.
Gatik will work with Walmart and the Kansas Department of Transportation to develop legislation around autonomous vehicles and deploy operations in the state.
ChargePoint will work with Gatik to establish electric vehicle charging infrastructure and integrated services for Gatik’s customers in the U.S. and Canadian markets.
Gatik’s deployment with Walmart in Arkansas will be first time that an autonomous trucking company has removed the safety driver from a commercial delivery route on the middle mile.
Gatik will lease from Ryder a fleet of medium-duty box trucks to integrate Gatik's autonomous driving technology with the goal to offer an autonomous-delivery-as-a-service model to customers.
