Robotruck Information

■About RoboTruck RoboTruck is a Japan-based technology company developing Level 4 autonomous driving systems for heavy-duty trucks. Founded in 2024, we aim to address Japan's growing truck driver shortage and transportation capacity challenges by bringing autonomous trucking into real-world logistics operations. ■Technology RoboTruck develops autonomous driving technology specifically for heavy-duty trucks, combining AI-driven perception, prediction, and planning to navigate complex highway environments. Our research and development also includes next-generation AI technologies, such as world models and diffusion-based planning, with the goal of building reliable and scalable autonomous driving systems for commercial freight operations. ■Key Milestones ・Series A Financing (July 2026): Raised JPY 5.2 billion in the first close of our Series A round, led by JIC Venture Growth Investments (JIC VGI), a Japanese government-backed VC, with participation from SPARX backed by Toyota Motor Corporation, and other investors. ・Expansion of Testing Operations (October 2026): Established a new base in Kyoto to expand long-distance autonomous driving demonstrations between the Kanto and Kansai regions. ・Autonomous Highway Demonstration (May 2026): Completed an approximately 260-km highway drive without driver intervention, with a safety driver on board. ・Government-Backed Programs (2026): Selected for MLIT's autonomous truck implementation support program and METI/NEDO's GENIAC initiative for advanced AI research. ■Recognition RoboTruck was named one of Forbes JAPAN's 100 NEXT GENERATION LEADERS (2025) . ■Looking Ahead Working with logistics operators, automotive manufacturers, and government stakeholders, we are advancing toward the commercial deployment of Level 4 autonomous trucks. Our goal is to make autonomous trucking a reliable part of Japan's logistics infrastructure, helping build a safer, more efficient, and sustainable freight transportation system.
