Our take
Logistics yards are complex and often chaotic settings, that present numerous hazards to human workers. Outrider supplies autonomous electric yard trucks to automate repetitive, manual, and hazardous tasks, removing humans from dangerous roles, and playing into the safety concerns of every yard manager.
The company is introducing the transformational technology required for large, logistics-dependent enterprises to keep pace with the changing times. With some 400,000 distribution yards across the US, the scale of this opportunity is huge, and Outrider has seen a lot of interest from the industry. By making its solutions electronic, it also caters to growing environmentally aware attitudes and protocols, tackling the immense carbon emissions generated by yard-operated diesel trucks.
As a leading technical innovator, Outrider consistently develops and releases new products and service updates. The company has secured significant investments, which are being used to enhance its portfolio of autonomy and safety technologies, support hiring efforts both domestically and internationally, and scale its yard automation solutions for large customers across various industries.
