Embark TrucksSkip
Embark Trucks develops automotive-grade self-driving software for long-haul trucking, designed to work across major truck OEM platforms so any fleet can operate autonomously. Its technology includes the Embark Universal Interface for OEM compatibility, the Embark Driver with multi-sensor perception, and Guardian, a cloud-based fleet management system. The company uses a transfer point model where local drivers handle first- and last-mile delivery, enabling autonomous highway driving for 250–3,000 miles.

Problem
Long-haul trucking faces persistent challenges including driver shortages, high operational costs, and safety risks from human fatigue and distraction. The $700 billion trucking industry also struggles with inefficiencies from mandated rest breaks and limited truck utilization, while environmental concerns demand more sustainable freight transport solutions.
Solution
Embark Trucks provides self-driving software designed from the ground up for long-haul trucking, enabling carriers to transform any fleet into an autonomous one without switching OEMs. The Embark Driver uses multiple redundant sensors to perceive the environment, simulating up to 1,200 scenarios per second with a 60-second prediction horizon. The Embark Universal Interface allows the technology to integrate across all major truck OEM platforms, giving carriers fleet-wide flexibility. Guardian, a comprehensive cloud-based fleet management system, provides 24/7 monitoring, remote assist, and intelligent dispatching against real-time weather, traffic, and construction data. The company's transfer point model pairs local human drivers for first- and last-mile delivery with autonomous highway segments of 250–3,000 miles, creating short-haul jobs while maximizing autonomous efficiency.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial trucking carriers and fleet operators, including major shippers and carriers such as Werner, Knight-Swift, Bison Transport, US Xpress, and DHL, seeking to improve profitability, address driver shortages, and increase truck utilization.
