Maersk and Kodiak Robotics Launch First Commercial Autonomous Trucking Lane in the US

Smart Transports are on the way. A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) and Kodiak Robotics, Inc., have launched the first commercial autonomous trucking lane between Houston and Oklahoma City.

The freight lane marks an expansion of the collaboration between Kodiak and Maersk, which began with their first autonomous freight deliveries together in November 2022 as part of Maersk’s Global Innovation Center Program.

Kodiak has been delivering eight loads per week, with a safety driver behind the wheel, for Maersk customers since August.

Erez AgmoniMaersk’s global head of innovation – logistics & services said: “Teaming with Kodiak enables Maersk to stay at the forefront of innovative solutions. Autonomous trucks will play an instrumental role in digitizing the supply chain. 

“We expect self-driving trucks to ultimately become a competitive advantage for Maersk as we execute on our strategy to provide customers with a sustainable, end-to-end logistics solution across air, land, and sea.”
