Embark Trucks, Inc. announced a strategic partnership with Alterra Property Group, to identify and launch transfer point sites across the US Sunbelt. These new transfer points will increase the reach of the Embark Coverage Map and enable new autonomous trucking lanes as Embark prepares for commercial deployment of its technology in 2024. Since it pioneered the transfer point model and opened the industrys first transfer point in 2019, Embark has carefully developed the operational expertise and technical specifications required to launch new transfer point sites.

In September 2021, Embark announced a plan to launch up to 100 transfer points across the US, working with Ryder to provide onsite operations, maintenance, and fleet management in support of seamless coast-to-coast autonomous truck operations. Through this partnership with Alterra, Embark will look to access the real estate it needs to activate a nationwide transfer point network and execute against its long-term commercialization goals.
