Torc—a self-driving technology subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG, currently focusing on commercializing autonomous trucks for long-haul applications in the U.S—has signed a leasing agreement for a facility located in Hillwood’s AllianceTexas development, according to a company news release.

The facility will serve as Torc’s autonomous truck hub in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and is expected to be built in the first half of 2025.

The details

The release states the 17-acre facility features 22,000 square feet of office space and will house the following operations:
  • Autonomous testing efforts
  • Customer freight pilots
  • Future commercialization slated for 2027
The company’s expansion in DFW provides a strategic advantage due to its proximity to a major freight route between Dallas and Laredo on I-35. According to the release, Laredo is the largest economic port of entry in the U.S., with more than 15,000 truck crossings per day and $320 billion in total trade from 2024.

What they’re saying


"Establishing our presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a key region for the future of autonomous trucking, is a critical milestone for Torc," CEO Peter Vaughan Schmidt said. "This new hub will enable us to better serve our current and future customers, enhance our operational capabilities, and drive forward the adoption of autonomous technology in the logistics industry."

"This collaboration highlights Hillwood’s commitment to fostering mobility innovation and building a more resilient supply chain ecosystem with industry-leading technology, reliable infrastructure, and forward-thinking customers," said Ian Kinne, director of logistics innovation at Hillwood. "The strategic location of this hub along the critical freight corridor of Interstate 35 is a testament to some of the unique advantages of AllianceTexas.

"Torc’s presence here will further drive innovation, enhance connectivity, and provide significant value to our customers as we work toward a more efficient and connected future in logistics."
