- Deployment Notes
- [stage: pilot] As of 2026, Torc is not operating a public commercial freight service; it is still in testing, validation, and pilot phases ahead of a targeted 2027 U.S. market entry. Torc has said it is preparing a first driver-out lane between Laredo and Dallas and has been conducting pilots with major motor carriers, but the available sources do not confirm paid public deliveries or a commercial fleet in service; a safety driver remains part of testing until driver-out operations are launched.
