Ryder, a U.S.-based transportation and logistics provider, has teamed up with Gatik, a leader in autonomous middle-mile trucking. This partnership will see Ryder deploy Gatik’s autonomous trucks for short-haul, business-to-business deliveries in several regions across the U.S. The initiative is aimed at addressing the driver shortage and increasing efficiency in supply chains. Gatik’s autonomous vehicles are designed for fixed routes and are expected to improve delivery timelines while minimizing operational costs.
