UNITED STATES OF AMERICA —Autonomous freight logistics developer Gatik AI Inc. has secured $200 million in a Series D funding round to scale its middle-mile delivery operations and expand its fleet of driverless commercial vehicles.
Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Gatik AI Inc. develops autonomous vehicle technology specifically optimized for short-haul and regional B2B logistics. The enterprise deploys self-driving box trucks to move goods between distribution hubs, fulfillment centers and retail stores across North America.
The latest capital infusion was led by the Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies, alongside institutional participation from Millennium Management, ARK Invest and Intact Private Capital. Gatik plans to deploy the proceeds toward scaling high-frequency regional routes designed to relieve supply chain friction for major retail and enterprise clients.
Middle-mile freight operations present a critical leverage point for modern logistics, serving as the connective network between centralized warehouses and commercial sales locations. By automating predictable, repetitive regional routes, autonomous vehicle operators address structural driver shortages, control operational expenditures, and enhance overall delivery timelines for high-volume supply chains.
The growth of driverless commercial fleets highlights a shifting market preference toward pragmatic, localized autonomous deployments over long-haul or passenger-focused alternatives. As major enterprise supply chains integrate autonomous box trucks into daily routing, the commercial freight sector faces increasing momentum toward automated logistics infrastructure across regional retail and consumer packaged goods networks.
