Torc Robotics is paving the way for the future of freight movement with its autonomous trucking technology. Fleet operators are encouraged to start conversations with Torc to explore the potential benefits of adopting autonomous trucks, including workforce upskilling opportunities. The company is actively developing new features and operational design ranges while conducting public road testing to ensure safety during driver-in operations. By 2026, Torc aims to release its autonomous trucking product, which will continue to evolve with progressive features and scenarios.
Last year, Torc announced plans to offer Freightliner customers the option to equip new Cascadias with Level 4 autonomous capabilities by 2027. This move is part of a broader ecosystem that involves integrating robotic trucks into the entire fleet supply chain, from transportation management systems to depot operations. Andrew Culhane, Torc’s chief strategy officer, emphasized the importance of collaboration across the fleet industry to ensure the successful implementation of autonomous technology.
While the AV trucks are designed to operate on divided highways connecting distribution centers, Torc is working on seamless integration with various aspects of fleet operations. The company’s testing center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serves as a hub for developing and refining the technology that will revolutionize freight transportation. As the industry gears up for the future of autonomous trucking, Torc Robotics is at the forefront, leading the way towards a more efficient and innovative fleet freight movement system.
