<p><strong>SANTA CLARA</strong> &#8212; Gatik, a company specializing in autonomous trucking, has announced $200 million in financing as demand accelerates for driverless commercial freight across Fortune 50 retail, grocery and CPG supply chains. The Series D round was led by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT), with participation from Millennium Management, ARK Invest, Intact Private Capital and others.</p>
<p>Gatik has built one of the most commercially advanced businesses in autonomous freight, with more than $600 million in contracted revenue, 85,000 fully driverless orders completed, and 99% on-time delivery across its operations. Its trucks move goods across high-frequency regional networks between distribution centers and stores, giving customers a reliable way to add capacity, improve service levels and keep products moving.</p>
<p>“This round, led by some of the world’s leading financial institutions, is a clear validation of Gatik’s commercial leadership in autonomous freight,” said <b>Gautam Narang, CEO and Co-founder of Gatik</b>. “We have built Gatik with real revenue, deep customer demand, and AI-driven autonomous technology proven every day in live supply chains. This round gives us the capital to scale with speed and discipline, serve the world’s largest companies, and define the future of autonomous freight.”</p>
<p>“Autonomous freight is transforming the global logistics industry, making it more efficient and reliable,” said <b>Abdulla Al-Kuwari, Head of Industrials at QIA</b>. “QIA is committed to supporting next-generation solutions providers like Gatik that are shaping the future of freight infrastructure.”</p>
<p>“We&#8217;ve long believed autonomous freight has the potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of supply chains,” said<b> Byron Knight, President of Koch Disruptive Technologies</b>.<b> </b>“What we&#8217;re seeing today is autonomy moving beyond a promising technology into real-world commercial operations. Gatik has demonstrated a practical approach to that transition, and we look forward to supporting the company&#8217;s continued growth.”</p>
<p>The latest financing round will help Gatik expand a model built around one of the most commercially compelling applications of autonomy: high-frequency regional routes that connect distribution centers and stores. These routes are time-sensitive, operationally complex and essential to keeping shelves stocked as customer expectations shift toward faster, more predictable access to everyday products.</p>
<p>“Autonomous freight is reaching an inflection point as AI and robotics converge to transform the transportation ecosystem,” said <b>Cathie Wood, Founder, CEO, and CIO of ARK Invest</b>. “The companies creating durable value will be those that translate breakthrough innovation into scalable commercial execution. Gatik has demonstrated that autonomous trucking is moving beyond experimentation into commercially viable operations with growing customer adoption. We believe the company is well positioned to help forge the future of freight transportation.”</p>
