# Torc Asimov System at Texas: deployment

Canonical ID: `4e40524d-685e-4512-abeb-a8ffa6a0207d`

Torc Robotics (a Daimler Truck subsidiary) opened its first commercial hub in May 2025, transitioning operations from testing in Albuquerque, New Mexico to focus on the Laredo to Fort Worth freight corridor in Texas. The Asimov autonomous driving system runs on Freightliner Cascadia trucks. In October 2024 Torc reached a driver-out validation milestone on a closed multi-lane test track at full operating speeds (65 mph). Torc targets fully autonomous Level 4 commercial deployment by 2027.
