DXC and LOXO Join Forces to Revolutionize Autonomous Logistics

In a significant move towards automating the logistics sector, DXC Engineering has partnered with LOXO, a Swiss company renowned for its Level 4 autonomous driving technology. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of self-driving commercial vehicles in logistics operations, addressing pressing challenges such as driver shortages, rising costs, and growing delivery demands.

The partnership's goals

The partnership combines LOXO's advanced autonomous driving technology with DXC's expertise in engineering, artificial intelligence, data management, and systems integration. Together, they aspire to transition from pilot projects to fully operational logistics processes, making autonomous driving a scalable reality across various enterprises. With an estimated 750,000 truck driver vacancies projected by 2028, the logistics industry is facing immense pressure to meet delivery demands while managing operational costs.

According to DXC, the collaboration seeks to enable logistics companies to implement next-generation autonomous solutions effectively and efficiently. By integrating LOXO’s established platform with DXC's technical knowledge and delivery capabilities, both companies plan to transform autonomous vehicles from pilot testing into regular business operations. This ambitious goal aims to enhance operational efficiency and remedy the existing labor shortages hindering logistics operations.

Bridging the technology gap

The LOXO platform is designed specifically for logistics applications, capable of handling repeatable point-to-point routes between hubs, warehouses, and distribution centers, all while optimizing capacity management without relying solely on available drivers. While many autonomous vehicles currently operate only in pilot environments, the partnership is positioned to integrate these vehicles into everyday logistics workflows effectively. Successful implementation requires more than just the vehicles themselves; it requires seamless compatibility with backend systems, data services, fleet coordination, and operational workflows. The DXC-LOXO partnership aims to fill this critical gap.

Amin Amini, the CEO and co-founder of LOXO, emphasized the importance of understanding the actual needs of European logistics companies. “Having developed the right technology over the years, we are prepared to transition from pilot projects to large-scale operations now that the regulatory frameworks for autonomous driving in Europe are becoming clearer,” he stated.

Focus on scalable operations

With DXC technology present in over 50 million vehicles, the partnership aims to deploy LOXO's Digital Driver™ (LDD) solution across various logistics environments. LDD is designed to be vehicle-agnostic and tailored for defined logistics applications, aligning with European regulatory requirements and operational scenarios. By harnessing the best features of LOXO's Level 4 autonomous driving platform alongside DXC's capabilities in consulting, AI, data integration, and operational implementation, the partnership stands ready to tackle labor shortages, cost pressures, urban congestion constraints, and sustainability goals.

Karim Jeribi, the head of Consulting Engineering Services at DXC Technology for Europe, noted, “The next challenge is to scale autonomous driving technologies company-wide.” He highlighted DXC's role in providing the development, integration, and implementation expertise necessary to industrialize these technologies and connect them with essential operational systems.

A vision for the future of logistics

Both companies are committed to developing a model for the repeated use of autonomous vehicles to reduce complexity and increase adoption among logistics providers, fleet operators, and vehicle manufacturers. By leveraging LOXO's technology and DXC's industrial scale implementation capabilities, they focus on converting autonomous driving technology into commercially viable and scalable logistics processes. These will be established on defined routes, introduced to new clients, and scaled within European markets and beyond.
