Gatik Raises $200 Million Series D to Expand Driverless Freight Network Autonomous trucking company Gatik has secured $200 million in Series D financing, capital it plans to use to scale commercial driverless freight operations across North America as demand from major retail and consumer goods customers accelerates. The round was led by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Koch Disruptive Technologies, with participation from Millennium Management, ARK Invest, Intact Private Capital and other investors. The company announced the financing Tuesday. Gatik specializes in moving goods between distribution centers and retail stores along high-frequency regional routes, a middle-mile model that has proven easier to commercialize than long-haul autonomous trucking. The company operates across Texas, Arizona, Arkansas and Canada, and has completed 85,000 fully driverless orders with a 99% on-time delivery rate, while holding more than $600 million in contracted revenue. The company said it aims to field more than 100 driverless trucks by the end of 2026, up from the dozens currently in operation, with plans to expand to thousands in the coming years. "This round, led by some of the world's leading financial institutions, is a clear validation of our commercial leadership in autonomous freight," said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik. "We have built Gatik with real revenue, deep customer demand, and AI-driven autonomous technology proven every day in live supply chains. This round gives us the capital to scale with speed and discipline, serve the world's largest companies, and define the future of autonomous freight." The financing underscores a shift in investor sentiment toward autonomous trucking, which has moved from a speculative technology play to a commercial logistics solution. Gatik's focus on short-haul, repeatable routes has allowed it to operate without safety drivers on public roads, a milestone that has eluded many competitors in the space. Abdulla Al-Kuwari,
