Company recognized for historic technical achievements in supply chain innovation and commercial application of autonomous middle mile solution
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – November 3, 2022 – Gatik, the market leader in autonomous middle mile logistics has been named to the prestigious FreightTech 25 list which honors innovation and disruption within the freight industry. The annual list, first launched in 2019, is compiled by FreightWaves, the world’s leading supply chain intelligence platform.
Companies recognized on the FreightTech 25 list are chosen because of their innovative and disruptive contributions to the freight technology sector. Each year, they’re selected from the FreightTech 100 by a handpicked group of CEOs, industry leaders and investors actively investing in freight.
“We’re living in a time when delivering on the promise of supply chain innovation has never been more important to our customers,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and cofounder, Gatik. “Our inclusion on the FreightTech 25 not only validates the customercentric approach we’ve taken to the deployment of our autonomous solution, but also the significant impact we’re having on solving some of the most acute supply chain challenges in middle mile logistics.”
Inclusion on the list is recognition of Gatik’s historic technical and commercial achievements during the past 12 months. In August 2021, Gatik became the first and only autonomous trucking company worldwide to operate fully driverless, middle mile commercial deliveries, doing so with Walmart in Bentonville, Arkansas. In 2022, the company expanded its fully driverless operations to Canada with the nation’s largest retailer, Loblaw, another historic first for the autonomous trucking industry. Gatik also significantly expanded its commercial presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, announcing multi-year commercial partnerships with Georgia-Pacific & KBX, and Pitney Bowes.
In addition to the FreightTech 25, Gatik was also named to Forbes’ list of America’s Best Startup Employers 2022 and Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2022 list; included on Business Insider’s Rising Stars of the Self-Driving Industry list; and named to Inc.
