About

Monarch Transportation Systems is a leading innovator in the transportation industry, pioneering the use of self-driving, autonomous trucks for long-distance freighting. Founded in 2014, Monarch is revolutionizing the way goods move across the country, offering unparalleled efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness for its customers.

A Fleet Redefining the Industry

Our current fleet consists of more than 4,600 autonomous trucks that operate 24/7 to deliver essential goods for a diverse clientele, including industry giants like Walmart, Dot Foods, FedEx, UPS, LVA Logistics, and IKEA. These state-of-the-art vehicles are equipped with the following cutting-edge technology:

• Advanced Sensors and Cameras: Our trucks perceive their surroundings in a full 360-degree view using a comprehensive suite of sensors and cameras and capture 4 terabytes of data each hour they are active on the road.

• LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): This innovative technology creates a detailed, real-time map of the environment, allowing our trucks to navigate with exceptional precision.

• AI-powered perception: AI analyzes the data from sensors and cameras, enabling the trucks to anticipate weather changes, react instantly to hazards, adapt to road conditions, and even respond to vehicle failures; 150 million lines of code and more than 150 ECUs are found in our trucks.

This advanced technology allows Monarch to tackle the most challenging routes—including mountain passes—in any weather conditions, a capability unmatched by any other autonomous trucking company.

Safety at the Forefront

Human error is a leading cause of truck accidents (1.35 million people are killed in motor vehicle accidents globally every year). By removing this risk factor, Monarch significantly reduces collisions and fatalities, creating a safer environment for everyone on the road. (Up to 94% of fatal motor vehicle–related crashes in the U.S. could be prevented by autonomous vehicles.) This creates a demonstrably lower risk profile for your cargo, reducing insurance costs and creating peace of mind.

Efficiency You Can Count On

Monarch’s autonomous trucks operate with unparalleled efficiency. They follow optimized routes, eliminating unnecessary stops and delays. This leads to faster deliveries, reduced transit times, and a more predictable supply chain. Our technology ensures streamlined logistics, reduced inventory carrying costs, and faster product delivery to your customers.

Reduced Costs, Increased Profitability

Our autonomous technology eliminates the need for driver salaries, benefits, and downtime associated with fatigue. This can significantly reduce costs for your business, allowing you to focus on growth and profitability.
