Outrider’s next-gen autonomous vehicle fleet is dedicated to making distribution yards more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.

Outrider’s autonomous yard trucks – new autonomy kit, new look

TrailerConnect is a patented deep-learning based technology used to robotically connect and disconnect the needed electric and brake lines to any semi-trailer or chassis.

TrailerConnect uses proprietary software algorithms, hardware, and sensors to locate, identify, connect to, and disconnect from trailers with modifications or adapters.

A critical link in the supply chain, distribution yard operations transition goods between the warehouse and the open road.

The Outrider System autonomously moves trailers to and from loading docks and parking spots in distribution yards. 

Exclusively focused on automating all aspects of yard operations, Outrider helps increase the efficiency and improve the safety of distribution yards.

The Outrider System operates as part of daily operations at Georgia-Pacific, autonomously moving goods between its Chicagoland distribution center and the open road.

Multiple trailer moves are dispatched and monitored onsite or remotely – all without teleoperation or other types of human interaction.

Outrider’s autonomous yard trucks back trailers of all types into tight spaces with precision and without modifications to trailers.

Outrider delivers reliable, consistent tractor-trailer hitching that is critical for autonomous yard operations.

Designed to mimic enterprises’ distribution yards, the Outrider Advanced Testing Facility is the first of its kind dedicated to yard automation technologies. 

Outrider yard automation helps drive the adoption of sustainable freight transportation by using electric yard truck platforms.
