The agreement is focused on the development of middle mile autonomous driving and will include the design and development of a new chassis (redundant chassis) that ensures safety when equipped with an autonomous driving system. Also, in an effort to develop autonomous driving solutions, the partnership aims of launching a level 4 autonomous commercial vehicle business in 2027.
Through this partnership, Isuzu will enter the middle mile autonomous driving business in the LCF segment, where the company has already established a market leadership position in the United States and Canada.\
Gatik is the only company that provides autonomous middle mile1 logistics services in North America, using Class 3-7 autonomous driving trucks to deliver goods safely and efficiently. Gatik’s Class 3-7 autonomous driving trucks are currently commercially deployed in Texas, Arkansas (United States), and Ontario (Canada).
