Testing self-driving tractor trailers in Arizona


In the USA, UPS has made a minority investment in the autonomous driving company TuSimple. The companies are testing self-driving tractor trailers on a route in Arizona to determine whether the vehicles can improve services and efficiency in the UPS network. This is an extension of the ongoing commercial relationship between UPS and TuSimple, in which UPS has purchased transportation services from TuSimple.

 

Throughout the ongoing tests, UPS has been providing truckloads of goods for TuSimple to carry on a North American freight forwarding route between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. The companies believe that self-driving tractor trailers could cut average transportation costs by 30%. (ben)
