PepsiCo and Gatik announced a multi-year strategic partnership to bring autonomous freight into PepsiCo’s North America food and beverage supply chain.
PepsiCo has deployed a fleet of 35 driverless trucks on public roads in Arizona, becoming the first major U.S. consumer-goods company to launch a full-scale rollout of autonomous delivery vehicles.
The vehicles are currently hauling Frito-Lay products, including Doritos and Cheetos, between bottling plants, storage facilities and major retailers such as Walmart and Dollar General. There are five additional trucks running in Texas and one in Arkansas.
