Humble Hauler
A self-driving electric container carrier without a cab, from a San Francisco start-up: about 320 km of range, 55 mph, for ports, rail yards and warehouses first, with pilots later in 2026. Setting it against a diesel tractor and trailer is not possible yet: Humble has published no battery size, no charging power, no weight and no price, and it offers the vehicle in the US as a freight service rather than for sale in Europe.
