T2 Inc. is a Japanese company that was established in August 2022 and is headquartered in Tokyo. It aims to change logistics with autonomous driving technology and to address the driver shortage in trunk-line freight.

The service runs Level 4 autonomous trucks between major logistics hubs. The technology stack combines bird's-eye-view spatial awareness, high-precision self-localization, scene understanding with a visual language model, and heavy vehicle motion control. Customers and partners on the site include logistics operators, leasing companies, KDDI for remote monitoring and an insurer.

• Level 4 trunk-line transport: Autonomous trucks run between major logistics hubs.
• Bird's-eye-view perception: Spatial awareness builds a top-down view around the truck.
• Precise self-localization: High-precision positioning keeps the truck on its route.
• VLM scene understanding: A visual language model interprets complex road scenes.
• Heavy vehicle control: Motion control is tuned for large trucks.
• Hub handover: Operation switches between driverless and manned driving at hubs.

Reference model for pilots on long-haul highway corridors such as North-South freight. Hub-to-hub transfer designs for logistics parks and port-linked distribution centers.

Addresses driver shortages on trunk-line freight routes. Supports operation that switches between driverless and manned driving at hubs. Backed by logistics, leasing, remote monitoring and insurance partners that cover the operating chain.

Driver shortages and rising freight volumes push logistics operators toward autonomous trunk-line transport. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, long-haul corridors and an aging driver workforce create similar interest, although deployments remain at an early stage.

Established in August 2022, headquartered in Tokyo with an office in Zama, Kanagawa. Investors and partners listed include Preferred Networks, Mitsui & Co. and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank.
