If you are building or investing in logistics technology, this is a must-read.
Warp is excited to share a new byline in Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
EV trucks get attention, but autonomy is the real game-changer. Long-haul freight faces limits with EVs, including high costs, battery range, charging infrastructure, and downtime. Today, EVs work best for short-haul routes, drayage, and urban deliveries.
Autonomous trucks can operate 24/7, reduce reliance on drivers, and increase asset utilization. Routing, load consolidation, and dynamic scheduling cut empty miles and improve efficiency. Because autonomy is software-driven, fleets can deploy it lane by lane now and switch to electric trucks as infrastructure catches up.
Predictive planning, exception handling, and better network design also cut wasted miles and lower carbon output. Autonomy is the main event, and EVs will follow. Shippers and providers who embrace it now will lead the next era of freight.
