Iveco and PlusAI Launch Level 4 Autonomous Truck Program in Spain

The initiative will test supervised Level 4 freight runs between Madrid and Zaragoza to prove safety and operational viability.

Overview

  • Iveco and PlusAI will develop two IVECO S‑Way heavy‑duty trucks fitted with PlusAI’s SuperDrive virtual driver for the trials.
  • Multi-year testing is scheduled to start in 2026 with a safety operator on board for the entire program.
  • The trucks are targeted to haul for logistics operator Sesé along an approximately 300 km corridor linking Madrid and Zaragoza with support from the Government of Aragon.
  • The companies describe this as the first deployment of heavy‑duty Level 4 trucks in Southern Europe and an extension of their partnership that includes operations in Germany.
  • Iveco underscores automation as a core technology focus, while PlusAI notes the program coincides with its plan to go public via a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp IX.
