Industries · Later horizon
City to city.
A later horizon.
Autonomous freight on corridors such as Johannesburg to Pretoria and Johannesburg to Durban could be very large. It is also the hardest technically and legally, so it comes after we have proven ourselves on slower, controlled routes.
What Rekeni does
Intercity autonomous freight.
- Freight on fixed corridors, hub to hub
- Trucks driven by Rekeni software, with operators watching every trip
- The same platform that runs our site and depot fleets
Why it fits
Why autonomy works here.
- A large prize
- Long corridors with steady freight and costly driving hours
- The hardest problem
- High speeds, mixed traffic and long distances
- Not legal yet
- Driverless freight on national roads needs regulation that is not in place today
- Built on what comes first
- Depot-to-depot and site routes build the record this needs
Business model
How it is paid for.
Figures here are hypotheses we are testing with pilot partners, not published prices. Terms are agreed contract by contract.
- Freight contracts
- A rate per load or per route on a corridor
- Vehicle leasing
- Autonomous trucks leased to fleet operators
- Software licensing
- The driving software licensed to truck makers and fleets
The path
What has to be true first.
Prove it slower
Hold a measured safety record on site, campus and depot routes first.
Work with regulators
Help shape the rules and permits for driverless freight on national roads.
Build the partners
Truck makers, insurers and freight customers, on a corridor at a time.
