Aurora’s Driverless Trucks on Pace for 2027 Expansion Target
Aurora took the driver out of its trucks last year, only to have its manufacturer Paccar Inc. request that a human remain behind...
Self-driving trucking company Aurora Innovation Inc. expects to fall short of its production target for this year but said it’s on track to recover for 2027.
Aurora said supplier issues caused constraints and the company won’t meet its goal of 200 trucks on the road until next February. That means Aurora will fall short of its revenue goal for 2026, the company said on October 28, as it reported quarterly results.
The supplier issues have been resolved, and production is now on pace to meet its previously stated goal of 1,000 trucks on the road by the end of 2027, Chief Financial Officer David Maday said in an interview with Bloomberg News. Going forward, the company has more demand than it can handle from nine different customers.
“We really think we’re at a commercial inflection point,” Maday said while walking along the truck’s assembly line in a Roush Enterprises Inc. plant in suburban Detroit. Roush handles the final assembly of Aurora’s rigs.
