Humble Robotics is shaking up short-haul logistics with a massive $51 million Series A funding round.
Founder & CEO Eyal Cohen unveils the vision behind their electric autonomous freight haulers – a "skateboard" chassis combining tractor and trailer for lighter, more efficient transport.
Humble Robotics has closed a $51 million Series A to fund customer pilots and early manufacturing of its autonomous electric freight hauler, bringing total funding to $75 million including a prior $24 million seed round.
"We are designing and building electric autonomous vehicles, and that takes capital," said Cohen, the company's founder and CEO.
"We like electric for short, we like electric for autonomous — and that's why it all kind of works together," the CEO said, noting that autonomous charging is far simpler to integrate than autonomous diesel refueling.
