Autonomous trucking leader Gatik secures strategic investment from NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, today announced a strategic investment from NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (NX Group), a global logistics leader. This investment will further strengthen Gatik’s position in the North American logistics landscape, accelerating the deployment of its autonomous technology across the region.

Gatik’s momentum continues to build as the company leverages a series of strategic investment partnerships to solidify its leadership in the middle-mile segment of the supply chain. Specializing in the often-overlooked routes between distribution centers, fulfillment centers and retail locations, Gatik addresses critical challenges like driver shortages and supply chain inefficiencies, resulting in faster deliveries and reduced costs. With its autonomous transportation network already operating successfully in regions such as Texas and Arkansas in the U.S., and Ontario, Canada, Gatik is reshaping the North American logistics landscape. Recent investment partnerships with Isuzu Motors and ITOCHU further accelerate this transformation, underscoring the industry’s confidence in Gatik’s safe, transparent, and regulator-approved approach to middle-mile autonomy.

“Middle-mile autonomy is undoubtedly the first application in autonomous trucking to achieve scale in commercial applications. It’s also critical for solving the most pressing logistics issues businesses are facing today—ensuring faster deliveries, addressing growing labor shortages, reducing costs, and meeting the rising demand for goods in this era of rapid e-commerce growth,” said Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik. “Our investment partnership with NX Group is a testament to the impact we’re making in North America and the confidence of global partners in our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
