Locomation's Autonomous Relay Convoy system consists of two-truck convoys that are electronically tethered. Wilson Logistics, PGT Trucking, and Stevens Trucking have all been working with Locomation on real-world testing and development of its concept. Locomation’s Çetin Meriçli talked to HDT’s Jim Park in this April 2021 episode of the HDT Talks Trucking podcast.
