PepsiCo and Gatik announced a multi-year strategic partnership to bring autonomous freight into PepsiCo’s North America food and beverage supply chain, marking the largest commercial autonomous freight deployment to date.
The products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. The partnership strengthens its supply chain network that makes and moves its food and beverage products across United States every day. It provides a practical way to improve delivery consistency, add capacity, and support customer service across a complex, high-volume operation. It also marks a major commercial milestone, which is now delivering autonomous freight at commercial scale inside one of the world’s largest and most demanding consumer goods supply chains.
Jim Farrell, senior vice president of supply chain, PepsiCo, said, “Serving our vast network of customers requires a supply chain that is safe, reliable, and built for the future. Gatik is already operating inside our networks and brings the autonomous freight technology, commercial experience, and scale we need to strengthen service, add capacity, and move products more consistently for our customers.”
Gautam Narang, CEO and co-founder of Gatik, said, “Autonomous trucking has reached commercial scale when it operates inside one of the most demanding supply chains on the planet. That is what Gatik is doing with PepsiCo. Our autonomous trucks are already moving products every day across Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas, and this partnership is proof that Gatik is becoming central to how the world’s largest companies move goods.”
