About

Torc Robotics is on a mission to drive the future of freight through autonomous trucking technology that transforms how the world moves goods. Founded in 2005 at the birth of the self-driving vehicle revolution, Torc brings over 20 years of experience pioneering safety-critical, self-driving applications. As an independent subsidiary of Daimler Truck - the world's largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer - Torc combines startup agility with enterprise strength to commercialize Level 4 autonomous trucks for safe, sustained long-haul innovation in the freight industry. Safety is not just a priority but the foundation that supports every aspect of how the company develops, deploys, and operates its autonomous technology.

Laser-focused on the Freightliner Cascadia platform, Torc is developing a complete self-driving software and integration solution specifically for hub-to-hub applications in the United States. The company collaborates with top fleet management companies like Schneider and C.R. England to deploy real-world solutions that improve road safety, deliver goods more efficiently, and address critical supply chain challenges. With facilities in Blacksburg, Virginia; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Montreal, Quebec, Torc leverages a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, safety professionals, and mechanics to push autonomous trucking from innovation to commercialization.
