Some autonomous trucking developers have built their reputations through high-profile announcements and headline-grabbing milestones. NuPort Robotics has taken a quieter approach.<\/p>\n

The Markham, Ont.-based startup has spent the past six years steadily building its autonomy platform, signing commercial customers and expanding into industries ranging from retail distribution and forestry to mining and ports.

While Sahdev didn\u2019t disclose financial figures, the claim stands out in an emerging technology sector where commercial adoption often takes years to materialize, and some upstart providers haven\u2019t survived long enough to achieve revenue generation.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2019 by Sahdev and chief technology officer Bao Xin Chen, NuPort was the first autonomous trucking company established in Canada.<\/p>\n

Sahdev, whose background spans nearly two decades in robotics and artificial intelligence, said the company\u2019s philosophy has always been to commercialize…<\/p>\n
