• Daimler Truck and Torc rely on a combination of complementary sensor technologies – state-of-the-art LiDAR, radar, and camera systems 

Tel Aviv, Israel | Portland (Ore.), USA | Blacksburg (Va.), USA – Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INVZ) (the "Company" or "Innoviz"), a leading Tier-1 direct supplier of high-performance, automotive-grade LiDAR sensor platforms and complementary software stack, announced today that Daimler Truck, one of the world’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers and Torc Robotics, a subsidiary of Daimler Truck, have selected Innoviz as its Short-Range LiDAR supplier for series production SAE Level 4 autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks.

This announcement follows Innoviz's previous disclosure that a major commercial vehicle OEM had selected the company for future series production of Level 4 autonomous trucks, now revealed to be Daimler Truck. Innoviz will supply its InnovizTwo Short-Range LiDAR sensors to support Daimler Truck and Torc Robotics' autonomous commercial vehicle program. As part of a joint development effort, the companies will collaborate to advance the sensors for commercial trucking applications.

Daimler Truck and Torc Robotics plan to integrate Innoviz’s LiDAR technology into the autonomous Freightliner Cascadia in combination with Torc’s virtual driver as one of several key components enabling Level 4 autonomous trucking.

The partnership positions Innoviz's technology as a critical component in Daimler Truck's strategy to bring autonomous trucks to market, with deployment planned across highway and regional routes in North America to help fleet operators improve operational efficiency, and enhance road safety.

“This partnership with Daimler Truck and Torc represents a significant validation of our technology and our position in the autonomous trucking market,” said Omer Keilaf, CEO and Co-Founder of Innoviz. “The trucking industry demands LiDAR sensors that can perform reliably in the most challenging conditions while delivering the precision and range needed for safe autonomous operation. Our InnovizTwo sensors have demonstrated compliance with these stringent requirements, and we're excited to support Daimler Truck and Torc in bringing this transformative technology to market.”

“Selecting the right LiDAR partner is fundamental to our autonomous trucking strategy,” said Rakesh Aneja, Head of Corporate Development at Daimler Truck North America. “Innoviz's proven track record in automotive-grade LiDAR sensors makes them an ideal partner as we advance toward series production. This collaboration brings us closer to delivering autonomous trucks that will reshape the logistics industry.”

Mike Avitabile, Head of Engineering at Torc, adds: “Integrating Innoviz’s technology into our self-driving vehicle software solution enhances our system’s ability to detect, classify, and track objects in real time across diverse road and weather conditions. Innoviz’s sensors deliver the consistency and durability required for commercial operation, while supporting the redundancy needed for safe Level 4 autonomy.”

Daimler Truck and Torc rely on a combination of complementary sensor technologies – state-of-the-art LiDAR, radar, and camera systems – to precisely detect the vehicle’s surroundings under all conditions. This multi-layered approach enhances road safety both on highways and in challenging maneuvers such as turning at intersections or navigating ramps. LiDAR technology uses lasers to generate high-resolution 3D maps of the environment. For maximum safety, autonomous trucks require both long-range LiDAR systems to identify objects far ahead and short-range sensors to capture detailed close-proximity data in complex driving situations. While Daimler Truck and Torc have already selected their supplier for long-range LiDAR, Innoviz has now been chosen as the partner for short-range LiDAR.
