KargoBot Launches Mixed Autonomous Freight Network in Ordos With Cabless Robots

KargoBot has started a scaled AI freight network in Qipanjing, Ordos, combining human-driven trucks, autonomous trucks with cabs, and cabless transport robots on one system.

The company says cabless robots could raise economic gain per vehicle from 20 percent to more than 30 percent, a target it has not audited.

Platooning reportedly improves gross margin by about 10 to 18 percent versus manned haulage, with one lead driver able to head up to five follower trucks.
