FT. WORTH, TX — TuSimple, a global autonomous driving technology company, and Hillwood announce a collaboration to integrate TuSimple’s infrastructure specifications into current and future industrial and commercial properties.

With the expansion of the TuSimple Autonomous Freight Network, Hillwood is preparing to meet the demand for autonomous trucks by getting properties ready for autonomous trucking operations, starting with a 1-million-square-foot facility built in its 27,000-square-acre AllianceTexas development. The AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone provides partner companies access to a testing and commercialization ecosystem, freight-critical resources, and partnerships essential to adopt, integrate, and scale L4 autonomous trucking operations.

“We partnered with TuSimple, a leader in autonomous trucking, to provide the guidance and technical parameters required to prepare this new facility for the rapid adoption and expansion of autonomous trucking operations throughout the region and beyond,” said Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood. “The on-demand economy is driving a technological transformation within the logistics industry, and through our partnership with TuSimple, the MIZ will be ready to meet that demand.”

This new facility is intended to serve as an origin and destination facility for L4 autonomous trucks.
