Overview
- The multi‑year agreement schedules 20 autonomous medium‑duty trucks by the end of 2025 and another 30 by the end of 2026.
- Operations will start with safety drivers on board before shifting to driverless freight‑only runs under provincial oversight.
- The fleet is slated to serve more than 300 Loblaw locations across GTA municipalities including Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Pickering and Oshawa.
- Loblaw is increasing its investment in Gatik as part of the expansion, with financial terms not disclosed.
- The companies describe the plan as North America’s largest autonomous‑truck rollout to date, citing a third‑party safety assessment and an incident‑free record in autonomous mode since 2019.
