Along with Walmart, it operates for customers in markets in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Ontario, Canada. Narang said Gatik’s commercially deployed autonomous fleet is one of the largest in North America. “Cummins’ technological leadership in developing the world’s leading powertrains for over 100 years and deep commitment to developing customer-centric solutions for the future of logistics mean the tangible benefits of our work together will be felt immediately across our customer base.” “As we commercialize our product offerings at scale across North America, ensuring that we integrate our technology with the world’s leading Tier 1 companies is critical to meeting intensifying demand for our solution safely and quickly,” Narang explained.

After 18 months of testing with a safety driver on board, Gatik and Walmart got permission from Arkansas officials to remove the safety driver from the cab. Narang said this unlocks autonomous transport advantages-such as faster ecommerce order fulfillment, asset utilization, and enhanced road safety.
Gatik’s driverless operations entail repeated, daily delivery runs on public roads. “Cummins powers nearly every type of application globally, so integrating our powertrain with automated driving systems like Gatik’s will allow our customers to choose the newest technologies to meet their needs.” “Cummins is excited to integrate its powertrain solution with Gatik’s automated driving system,” said Michael Taylor, Cummins GM of global powertrain integration. In addition, Cummins will work closely with Gatik’s engineering team to provide additional technical expertise.
He said the technology offers "superior" vehicle performance on Gatik’s short-haul, B2B delivery routes. Gatik’s commercial-grade autonomous technology integrated with Cummins’ powertrain increases functional safety and enhances the reliability of the autonomous system while improving fuel efficiency, according to Narang. “This direct integration will allow safer and more performant operation for Gatik AVs built on the Isuzu FTR fleet, versus more traditional engine control through the vehicle.”

“Gatik and Cummins will be working together to integrate a new software interface built by Cummins to allow Gatik's autonomous driving software to communicate directly with Cummins engines,” Arjun Narang, Gatik CTO and co-founder, told FleetOwner.
