How will driverless trucks impact sustainable supply chains of the future? AV + EV = ESG! To find out more, listen in to this week’s episode with Don Burnette, Founder and CEO of Kodiak Robotics. Don joins host Tyler Cole in exploring the positive environmental and social impacts of autonomous, long-haul trucking. After sharing his personal and company backstory, the pair discuss the many ESG-related benefits from autonomy.

They’re working to build the world’s safest driver, a top industry priority and a crucial factor in any fleet’s license to operate. Kodiak’s AV trucks could provide fleets the chance to reduce accidents and up skill employees while offering drivers preferred regional routes with more time at home. With software behind the wheel, fuel efficiency improves by roughly 10% and those benefits accrue with an electric or combustion powertrain. Kodiak is carrying freight forward so people, partners, and the planet thrive.
