Autonomous Trucking Firm Gatik Raises $200M, Proving Commercial Viability
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-08-29
US autonomous trucking company Gatik raised $200M in Series D funding led by Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies. This marks its largest raise to date, backed by strong commercial metrics: over $600M in contracted revenue, 85,000 fully autonomous deliveries, and a 99% on-time delivery rate.
Gatik focuses on "middle-mile" logistics (distribution centers to stores), avoiding the crowded Robotaxi market by leveraging fixed, high-frequency routes. The funding signals a shift from betting on tech experiments to supporting proven commercial infrastructure. The article draws parallels to Chinese companies like Ninebot, Baixiongniu, and Neolix, which are similarly targeting B2B urban distribution and hub-to-store scenarios, shifting from tech vendors to managed fleet operators.
