Gatik begins fully driverless refrigerated trucking operations at scale to support commercial deliveries

Gatik recently began fully driverless commercial trucking operations at scale in the U.S., including regular deliveries of refrigerated and frozen goods with no human driver or safety observer onboard. The company, which focuses on autonomous, freight-only trucking for regional logistics, is now completing daily deliveries for Fortune 50 retailers across Texas, Arkansas, and Arizona.

Since launching freight-only driverless operations in mid-2025, Gatik has completed 60,000 fully driverless deliveries without incident. Its autonomous trucks operate day and night on highways and surface streets, supporting the movement of ambient, refrigerated, and frozen products between distribution centers and retail locations.

Gatik has logged more than 2,000 hours of driverless operation across multiple logistics networks and completed more than 10,000 driverless miles on public roads. Routes extend up to 400 miles, linking dense networks of warehouses, distribution centers, and stores where consistent cold-chain performance is critical.

In markets including Dallas–Fort Worth, Phoenix metro region, and Northwest Arkansas, Gatik’s 26- and 30-ft. trucks operate nearly 24 hours a day. The vehicles are used to boost delivery frequency, reduce transportation costs, and help retailers keep temperature-sensitive goods moving through their supply chains.

The company launched its driverless operations after independent reviews of key elements of its Safety Assessment Framework and engagement with federal and state transportation regulators, including FMCSA and NHTSA. Gatik also conducted training sessions with first responders as part of its community-readiness approach.

Gatik’s autonomous operations are supported through its collaboration with Isuzu Motors Limited, integrating its SAE Level 4 autonomous system into Isuzu medium-duty trucks. The collaboration supports current refrigerated and frozen freight operations while preparations continue for a mass-production, autonomous-ready vehicle program.

“Autonomous trucking is no longer a promise. It’s a business,” Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik, stated. “With more than $600 million in contracted revenue, Gatik has proved that autonomous trucking is not only possible but commercially viable, and the fierce demand for our solution reflects how quickly this new model will reshape the future of logistics. Today, we are operating fully driverless trucks across multiple logistics networks and markets, serving the largest retailers and CPG companies in the country. This consistency in real-world operations is a turning point for autonomous logistics.”
