Founded in 2017 by Zhang Tianlei, a graduate of Tsinghua University’s Department of Computer Science and an autonomous driving expert, Trunk Tech focuses on applying Level 4 autonomous driving technology to logistics trucks. Zhang studied under Academician Li Deyi of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The company has received backing from prominent industrial investors, including Anhui Kexun (affiliated with iFLYTEK), NIO Capital, and Bosch Group. Through multiple rounds of financing, its post-money valuation rose from RMB 150 million in its angel round to RMB 3.86 billion by its Series B5 round. Financial data shows that Trunk Tech’s revenue was RMB 134 million, RMB 254 million, and RMB 345 million in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60.3%. During the same period, net losses narrowed from RMB 213 million to RMB 187 million and further to RMB 171 million. However, the company has reported negative operating cash flow for three consecutive years and remains reliant on external funding for daily operations. The company’s revenue primarily comes from two business segments: Trunk Port and Trunk Pilot. In 2025, Trunk Port revenue declined while Trunk Pilot revenue grew significantly. Trunk Tech exhibits high customer concentration, with its revenue heavily influenced by a few large clients and major projects, resulting in seasonality and volatility. Operating in the highly competitive commercial vehicle autonomous driving sector, Trunk Tech faces numerous rivals in both closed and open scenarios. Its future profitability hinges on the growth of its Trunk Pilot and

China Focus: From test grounds to worksites, China scales up real-world deployment of intelligent heavy-duty trucks XI'AN, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Climbing into the cab of a new-energy intelligent heavy-duty truck and pressing the start button, one is greeted not by the familiar roar of a diesel engine, but by a calm voice prompt. The nearly four-meter-tall vehicle, weighing tens of tonnes, comes to life as the steering wheel smoothly turns itself. At a testing base in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, the giant rolled quietly out of its parking space, effortlessly spotting obstacles and navigating around them with impressive precision. As it approached a curve, it automatically adjusted its trajectory. A screen displayed real-time data such as lane markings, surrounding vehicles and potential hazards. The truck is one of a fleet of intelligent heavy-duty trucks already in commercial operation by Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group Co., Ltd (SAHG), a Fortune China 500 company specializing in heavy-duty trucks and one of the country's first enterprises to secure a permit for testing intelligent truck driving. In recent years, the commercialization of China's intelligent-driving vehicles has frequently captured public attention. Beyond the spotlight, intelligent heavy-duty trucks are also making their way into frontline economic sectors, including mines, ports, factories and construction sites, with their applications continuing to expand. According to a GlobalData report, the number of autonomous haul trucks in operation worldwide has risen from 2,080 in July 2024 to 3,832 in July 2025. China ranked first worldwide with 2,108 vehicles. Intelligent trucks are mainly deployed commercially in two scenarios: long-haul highway logistics, where drivers are assisted by intelligent driving systems, and closed environments such as ports, mines and logistics parks, where vehicles operate autonomously, said Bao Weidong, deputy director of SAHG's automotive engineering research institute. China is the perfect proving

Sparhawk Trucking employees could face mass layoffs amid bankruptcy proceedings, the company's trustee said in a May 28 notice. The company is seeking a buyer but also continuing operations after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March. Nevertheless, there’s no guarantee a buyer will be found or that a new owner would keep all of the existing workforce, according to the notice. "No employee should count on the business remaining open or mass layoffs not taking place," Matthew Brash, the company's Chapter 11 trustee and senior managing director at Newpoint Advisors, said in the notice. The notice was required as part of federal and state laws mandating employers alert workers of potential mass layoffs at least 60 days in advance. “It is impossible for us to determine at present which employees may be affected, if any,” the notice said. The bankruptcy is affecting Sparhawk Trucking, along with related entities such as Sparhawk LLC. Owner Mark Sparhawk previously said the company's financial troubles came as a lawsuit, asset mismanagement during his medical leave and equipment failures converged while the trucking was already undergoing a freight recession. Since then, the bank has been selling off non-core assets to pay off creditors. As part of the bankruptcy proceeding, Sparhawk arranged for CB Leasing of Iowa to buy 50 trailers for $950,000 that were not needed for continuing operations, according to a court filing. Sixty percent of the money is slated to pay creditor WoodTrust Bank, the filing said.

Driverless Trucks Are Already Delivering to Walmart. Can Your Operation Afford to Wait? PepsiCo has 41 driverless trucks on the road. The economics are starting to make sense for other companies, too. By Ashley Prince | June 16, 2026 PepsiCo has gone all-in on driverless trucks. The food and beverage giant has been testing autonomous trucks via its partnership with Gatik since 2022, finally removing human backup drivers from the cabs on public roads last summer. This month, PepsiCo and Gatik announced a multi-year strategic partnership to expand the operation to approximately 250 retail locations across Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. The autonomous trucks will deliver to retailers like Walmart and Dollar General with no driver or observer in the cab. It is the largest commercial autonomous freight deployment on record. “Serving our vast network of customers requires a supply chain that is safe, reliable, and built for the future,” said Jim Farrell, senior vice president of supply chain at PepsiCo. “Gatik is already operating inside our networks and brings the autonomous freight technology, commercial experience and scale we need to strengthen service, add capacity and move products more consistently for our customers.” PepsiCo and Gatik have proven that the technology can work, providing a use case for other supply chain managers considering an investment in autonomous. From an economic standpoint, the available data suggests the business case may be catching up to the technology. The Economics of Hiring Humans In today’s labor market, the median age of a truck driver is 57. The American Trucking Associations projects the industry will need to recruit 1.2 million new drivers over the next decade to replace retiring workers and meet freight demand. That kind of effort comes with a high price tag. In addition to an aging workforce, the trucking industry has grappled

📌 UPDATE — June 16, 2026 Tesla has now issued an official public statement escalating its opposition to the New Jersey legislation, going beyond owner emails to directly accuse the bill of singling out Tesla for a market ban. In its statement, Tesla said: "Rather than prioritizing real safety outcomes and performance, this bill specifically bans Tesla from the New Jersey market. Every arbitrary roadblock is a delay for the people who need this life-changing technology most." The company framed the legislation not merely as an AV regulatory hurdle, but as targeted exclusion of its proven autonomous technology — a notably stronger characterization than its earlier owner-outreach messaging. The statement was shared publicly on June 16, 2026, and signals Tesla is prepared to fight the bills on a broader public stage, not just through grassroots owner lobbying. via @SawyerMerritt · June 16, 2026 Tesla has begun emailing New Jersey owners directly, warning them that legislation currently moving through Trenton could permanently block true driverless vehicle deployment in the state. The company is asking owners to get involved before the bills advance further — making this one of the clearest examples yet of Tesla treating its customer base as a political constituency. What the Bills Actually Say Two companion bills are working their way through the New Jersey legislature: Senate Bill S1677 and Assembly Bill A3968. Together, they propose a three-year pilot program for fully autonomous vehicles (SAE Level 4 and 5) operating in New Jersey. On the surface, that sounds like progress. The problem, from Tesla's perspective, is buried in the details: - Human driver required during the initial phase. Fully driverless operation is only permitted after the pilot phase concludes without incident. That means no unsupervised FSD runs — even if the technology is ready. - Banned in school

The gain came despite a broader selloff in technology stocks. The Nasdaq Composite was down 1.36%, the S&P 500 fell 0.31%, and the Technology sector declined 1.9%, making Mobileye one of the day’s relative outperformers. Mobileye Expands Into Robotaxi Operations Mobileye said Tuesday it will launch a vertically integrated robotaxi business, expanding beyond supplying autonomous driving technology into operating its own autonomous ride-hailing service. The company plans to deploy an initial fleet of about 100 fully driverless vehicles in a major U.S. city in 2027, with a goal of scaling to about 17,000 vehicles over the following five years. The new business will combine Mobileye Drive with Moovit’s mobility platform, including consumer apps, trip planning, fleet management and teleoperation capabilities. Mobileye said the initiative will complement its existing business of supplying autonomous driving technology to automakers and mobility providers. “This initiative is not a replacement for our existing partnerships; it is an extension of them,” CEO Prof. Amnon Shashua said. Technical Analysis Mobileye is attempting to stabilize after falling 36.8% over the past year, although the longer-term technical picture remains mixed. The stock is trading 7.6% above its 50-day simple moving average of $9.06 and 11.5% above its 100-day SMA of $8.75. However, it remains 9.1% below its 200-day SMA of $10.73, indicating the longer-term downtrend is still intact. The relative strength index stands at 48.87, signaling neutral momentum with neither overbought nor oversold conditions. While the 20-day SMA has moved above the 50-day SMA, offering a constructive short-term signal, the death cross formed in August 2025, when the 50-day SMA crossed below the 200-day SMA, continues to weigh on the longer-term outlook. Traders are watching resistance near $11.00, which aligns with the 200-day moving average, while support sits around $8.50 near the 100-day SMA. Price Action MBLY Stock Price

Why Volvo sees 2027 as the year autonomous trucking takes off Subscribe to our free newsletter today to keep up to date with the latest transportation and logistics news. For much of the past decade, autonomous trucking has existed in a state of expectation. Technology developers promised safer highways, lower operating costs and a solution to chronic driver shortages, yet large-scale commercial deployment remained elusive. Volvo Group now believes that period is coming to an end. At its Capital Markets Day in Sweden, the company outlined what is arguably the clearest commercialization roadmap yet presented by a legacy truck manufacturer. Volvo Autonomous Solutions is targeting driverless highway operations in the US during the first quarter of 2027 and expects autonomous transportation revenue to approach $3 billion annually by 2031. The company also anticipates having more than 300 autonomous trucks operating on highways by the end of 2027. The announcement marks a notable shift in the autonomous vehicle conversation. Rather than focusing on future technological potential, Volvo is now discussing fleet deployment, utilization rates and revenue generation. Volvo is moving beyond pilots and into commercial deployment The foundation of Volvo’s strategy is a hub-to-hub operating model. Human drivers continue to manage the first and last miles of freight movement, while autonomous trucks take over the long-haul highway segment between logistics hubs. This approach focuses on predictable highway routes where autonomous systems can operate most effectively. The trucks themselves are based on Volvo’s autonomous VNL platform, developed alongside Aurora Innovation. The vehicles are already operating on highways in Texas with safety drivers onboard, providing Volvo and Aurora with real-world operational data before the transition to fully driverless services. Recent developments suggest momentum is building. Volvo and Aurora expanded their autonomous freight network with a Dallas-to-Oklahoma City corridor and launched autonomous freight operations

The project aims to enable highly automated truck convoys for use in demanding military scenarios. It will also examine the basis for a standardised certification process for autonomous transport vehicles within the German Armed Forces. As part of InterRoC, Quantum Systems’ artificial intelligence and autonomy solutions will be integrated into military vehicle platforms from Daimler Truck. The vehicles are expected to be capable in the future of conducting convoy operations automatically or by teleoperation. The project is intended to support operations under difficult conditions and with limited communications infrastructure. Quantum Systems said the German Armed Forces are addressing a key challenge facing modern militaries through the programme. The company said future logistics will require significantly greater performance with limited personnel resources. As the planned expansion of the force proceeds, material, transport and supply requirements are expected to increase, while qualified personnel will remain limited. Automated and semi-automated convoys are intended to help allocate logistics resources more efficiently. They can also support more effective use of available personnel and reduce the operational burden on service members. Quantum Systems said the technology could enable supply missions in high-risk or contested areas. The company said this would contribute to the resilience and sustainability of modern armed forces. “The massive expansion of the Bundeswehr’s logistics force can only be achieved through highly automated and autonomous ground vehicles. The Bundeswehr needs a scalable and resilient logistics system that functions reliably even with limited personnel resources,” said Hendrik Kramer, Vice President of the Land Domain at Quantum Systems. “We view autonomous convoy solutions as a fundamental component of Germany’s role as a logistics hub and are proud to be a partner of the Bundeswehr in this area,” Kramer said. Quantum Systems is contributing expertise in the certification of autonomous ground vehicles to the project. The company

Read this article in 中文 Français Deutsch Italiano Português Español An intelligent machine ecosystem: Zoomlion’s approach to the future of mining Partner Content produced by KHL Content Studio 16 June 2026 Mining operators around the world are under increasing pressure to produce more material while reducing environmental impact and improving workforce safety. Factor in labour shortages, rising energy costs and stricter sustainability targets, and the logic of investigating automation, electrification and digital intelligence becomes clear. Today, we are increasingly seeing autonomous haulage systems, remote-controlled equipment and real-time operational intelligence moving from pilot projects into large-scale deployments in open-pit mining operations. A number of industry studies have identified the benefits, with a report from Ernst & Young forecasting that digital transformation could deliver an improvement in mining productivity of up to 23% by 2030. At the same time, these technologies are helping operators improve asset utilisation, reduce downtime and optimise energy consumption. According to Yu Xiao Ying, Head of Smart Mining Projects at Zoomlion, today’s productivity targets, safety requirements and sustainability objectives are significantly changing the way mining operations are designed and managed. These changes are shaping Zoomlion’s approach to mining, with the company focusing on integrated solutions built around green power systems and full-stack intelligence. This strategy is already being deployed at scale, with hundreds of Zoomlion autonomous mining trucks operating across mining projects in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, while the company’s hybrid and electric mining trucks have each accumulated more than 8,000 operating hours. The evolution of smart mining The concept of the intelligent mine has evolved significantly over the past decade. Early digitalisation initiatives focused primarily on equipment monitoring, fleet management and operational reporting. More recently, however, advances in machine vision, artificial intelligence, connectivity and autonomous vehicle technology have expanded the possibilities for automation.

Aurora Innovation has recently attracted renewed attention after reporting Q1 2026 results that were slightly ahead of expectations, securing new positive analyst coverage, and seeing director David Wehner purchase 82,500 shares following earlier selling pressure from an Uber Technologies subsidiary. This combination of insider buying, analyst support, and continued progress toward deploying more than 200 driverless trucks by year-end has shifted focus back to Aurora’s autonomous trucking platform rather than the previous secondary share sale overhang. We’ll now examine how this insider share purchase and related developments may influence Aurora Innovation’s existing investment narrative and risk profile. We've uncovered the 9 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them. Aurora Innovation Investment Narrative Recap To own Aurora Innovation, you have to believe its autonomous trucking platform can scale from minimal revenue today into a viable Driver as a Service model, despite heavy losses and ongoing cash burn. The latest insider buying and slightly better Q1 2026 results do not change the near term catalyst that matters most, which is deploying more than 200 driverless trucks, nor the biggest risk of needing fresh capital if that rollout or gross profit timing slips. The recent confirmation that Aurora still expects to deploy more than 200 driverless trucks by year end is the announcement that most directly connects to this news. It is the operational milestone that ties insider confidence, analyst support, and expanding customer partnerships together, and it sits at the heart of whether Aurora’s emerging network can start to justify its investments and reduce the risk of further dilution. Yet beneath the insider buying and analyst optimism, investors should be aware that Aurora is still burning hundreds of millions of US dollars and could...

Saudi Arabia trials first autonomous heavy-duty truck with P&G June 15, 2026Hydrogen fuel cell news: Big news from Saudi Arabia! The Transport General Authority has just given the green light for an incredible pilot project featuring the first hydrogen-powered heavy-duty truck. This beast of a vehicle comes with autonomous driving tech and is being rolled out through a collaboration with Procter & Gamble Limited, the local Ismail Abudawood Group, and the tech-savvy folks at Hyperview. This initiative is a great step forward for the National Transport and Logistics Strategy and is in line with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to clean up freight transport while embracing smarter mobility solutions. This pilot truck, which is hitting the roads this month, is no ordinary rig. It’s powered by a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell system, paired with some seriously advanced Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities. This bad boy runs on high-pressure hydrogen stored at 350 bar, so refueling only takes a few minutes at the designated hydrogen refueling stations. While we don’t have the full scoop on its range and payload yet, earlier tests with Hyperview’s HTO2.1 platform have shown it can travel up to 450 km on a single tank and haul over 40 tonnes, highlighting just how promising hydrogen fuel cell trucks can be for long-distance trips, even in tough climate conditions. P&G’s sustainability and supply chain angle Now, let’s talk about Procter & Gamble (P&G) and its goals. As a major player in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, P&G is committed to achieving net-zero emissions across its operations and supply chains. In Saudi Arabia, they’re teaming up with Ismail Abudawood Group to manage the manufacturing, distribution, and storage of its household and personal care products.
