Initially, the collaboration will focus on developing tailored autonomous trucking solutions for ports, factory operations and corporate campuses. Later, it will add hub-to-hub applications and long-haul trucking, said the commercial vehicle manufacturer in a statement.
“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.
