PlusAI announce launch of factory-built autonomous trucks in 2027

PlusAI, a leading company in the development of AI software for autonomous trucks, keeps on working towards its targeted commercial launch in 2027. The company is also planning to become publicly listed via a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp IX. Indeed, PlusAI’s proprietary driving intelligence platform, SuperDrive, is built on an AI-native Reasoning–Reflex autonomy stack with rule-based guardrails and redundancy, trained on over six million real-world miles, and augmented by simulation and synthetic data to accelerate edge-case learning.

According to the U.S.-based company, PlusAI’s OEM partners, TRATON GROUP’s Scania, MAN, and International brands, IVECO, and Hyundai, plan to integrate SuperDrive into their vehicle platforms at the factory-level. These partnerships are critical for large scale commercial deployment of autonomous trucks given the safety, reliability, and long-standing fleet relationships.

PlusAI autonomous trucks set to be launched in 2027

More into details, PlusAI plans to launch its first factory-built autonomous trucks in the Texas Triangle, followed by expansion into additional freight corridors in the U.S. and Europe. In preparation, PlusAI is currently conducting a commercial pilot with a Top Ten Largest Carriers in the U.S. in Texas, as well as public road testing in Sweden.

“Our performance on the Safety Case Readiness and Remote Assistance Free Trips metrics demonstrate that SuperDrive is advancing toward commercial readiness,” said David Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of PlusAI. “Safety and system maturity as well as operational efficiency are foundational requirements for deploying factory-built autonomous trucks at scale. We continue to make consistent, measurable progress on both as we get closer to our planned 2027 commercial launch.”
