Ashok Leyland introduced a strategic alliance with Bengaluru-based Minus Zero to revolutionise industrial trucking by the deployment of autonomous solutions at scale.
Initially, the collaboration will focus on growing tailor-made autonomous trucking solutions for ports, manufacturing facility operations and company campuses. Later, it would add hub-to-hub functions and long-haul trucking, mentioned the industrial automobile producer in an announcement.
“Ashok Leyland has been looking at ways to reduce the cost of logistics in India in line with the government’s National Logistics Policy. We see a role for autonomous driving in select sectors in achieving this and we have been partnering pioneering start-ups in this area. Minus Zero’s capabilities and plans impressed us, and we are excited to be working with them to develop India-specific solutions that can be scaled globally,” ALL Chief Technology Officer N.
