Gatik Secures $200M in Its Largest Funding Round to Date, Backed by Qatar and Koch

Autonomous trucking startup Gatik has closed a $200 million funding round, its biggest yet, following a notable partnership with PepsiCo. The investment was spearheaded by the Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies, signaling strong confidence in the company’s middle-mile delivery model.
Gatik specializes in driverless trucks for short-haul logistics, focusing on routes between distribution centers and retail locations. The new capital will accelerate the deployment of its self-driving fleet and expand its operational footprint across North America.
With this infusion, Gatik plans to enhance its technology stack, improve safety systems, and scale commercial operations. The PepsiCo deal underscores Gatik’s ability to secure major consumer goods partners, validating its approach to autonomous freight in urban and suburban settings.
