SoftBank Funding Combined with ASI’s 25+ Years of Mobius® Fleet Management Expertise Will Accelerate Commercialization of OEM-Agnostic, Mixed-Fleet Autonomous Solutions for Next-Generation Infrastructure

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), the worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation and creator of Mobius®, the platform that defined Industrial Autonomous Fleet Orchestration (IAFO), has formed a joint venture with SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984, “SoftBank Group”) focusing on the development and commercialization of autonomous construction equipment for large infrastructure projects.

The joint venture has been capitalized by SoftBank Group for meaningful scale across a number of construction use cases, substantially enhancing ASI's capacity to meet the market's need for next-generation autonomous solutions focused on civil construction and material handling.

In addition to the ASI/SoftBank joint venture, SoftBank Group invested $225M in ASI, providing capital to grow its commercial operations across the broader construction market.

“This joint venture with SoftBank positions ASI at the forefront of autonomous construction innovation—built for scale, engineered for longevity, and open to every major equipment brand on the jobsite,” shares ASI CEO Mel Torrie. “Together, we offer automated OEM-agnostic heavy equipment solutions that let customers deploy mixed fleets of haul trucks, dozers, loaders, compactors, and more—all operating autonomously together across complex tasks from earthmoving to vertical construction. Backed by world-class capital and 25+ years of proven technology, we’re not just advancing autonomy—we’re inviting the industry’s leading builders of large infrastructure projects, like roadways, airports, railways, waste management, and other adjacent applications, to shape the future of construction with us.”
