Introducing the Daimler Truck's Autonomous Electric Semi-Truck

Daimler Truck North America has just debuted a demonstrator electric semi-truck with autonomous driving technology.

The electric autonomous Freightliner eCascadia technology demonstrator is based on a production electric Freightliner eCascadia.

It’s equipped with Torc Robotics‘ autonomous driving software and the latest Level 4 sensor and compute technology that will eventually enable Level 4 autonomous driving.

Daimler’s goal is to develop this research and engineering project into a modular, scalable platform for different trucking applications to offer bespoke solutions for customers.

Daimler says the autonomous eCascadia could be used on shorter, repeatable routes,

and it’s currently testing the autonomous electric semi-truck demonstrator between freight centers along US highway corridors.

Daimler Truck has been developing and testing autonomous truck technology since 2015,

and it aims to enter the market with production SAE Level 4 autonomous trucks in the US by 2027.

Daimler Truck is making significant strides in the development of autonomous electric semi-trucks,

aiming to revolutionize the trucking industry with cutting-edge technology.
