EasyMile

What EasyMile does

EasyMile SAS, founded in 2014 in Toulouse, France, develops an in-house autonomous driving software stack for heavy-duty vehicles operating at airports, logistics hubs, and industrial sites. The proprietary stack integrates centimeter-level localization, 360-degree multi-sensor perception (cameras, LiDAR, radar), intelligent path planning, and a CE-marked safety chain certified to ISO 26262, ISO 3691-4, ISO 21448, ISO 12100, and ISO 13849-1 standards. It is platform-agnostic and has accumulated 1.5 million autonomous kilometers across 300+ locations with a 95% mission success rate.

The company's branded products — EZTow (autonomous tow tractor), EZDolly (autonomous cargo dolly), and EZFleet (fleet management platform) — embed EasyMile's software into vehicle platforms manufactured and distributed by TractEasy, a 2024 joint venture with TLD (Alvest), the global leader in airport ground support equipment. EasyMile holds the first European Level 4 authorization on public roads (2022) and the first Level 4 autonomous towing authorization from Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau at Narita (2025).

EasyMile earns revenue primarily through software licensing of its autonomous driving stack to airports, ground handlers, airlines, and industrial customers, supplemented by joint-venture economics from TractEasy. Following a strategic pivot completed in March 2026, the company has exited passenger transport and concentrates on heavy-duty vehicle autonomy, with 30+ commercial deployments across Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Asia and a stated pipeline of 15+ additional fleet licenses expected in 2026. Notable enterprise customers include Lufthansa Cargo, dnata, Munich Airport, Japan Airlines, BMW, Daimler Truck, John Deere, Bosch, and Voestalpine. The company is venture-backed, having raised Series A from Alstom, Bpifrance, and Continental and a €55 million Series B in 2021.

Core offering

EasyMile develops and licenses a proprietary autonomous driving software stack that transforms heavy-duty vehicles (tow tractors, cargo dollies, industrial platforms) into reliable driverless solutions for airports, factories, and logistics sites. The stack integrates centimeter-level localization, 360-degree perception via cameras, LiDAR, and radar, intelligent path planning, and a CE-marked certified safety chain. It is delivered as software licenses and through the TractEasy joint venture with TLD as integrated EZTow autonomous tow tractors and EZDolly autonomous cargo dollies, accompanied by the EZFleet fleet management platform.

Product overview

EasyMile provides a comprehensive autonomous vehicle technology portfolio centered on heavy-duty industrial applications. The core offering is the proprietary Autonomous Driving Software Stack, which is licensed to power multiple vehicle platforms. Two primary branded products integrate this technology: the EZTow (autonomous tow tractor for baggage, cargo, and material transport) and EZDolly (autonomous cargo dolly for airport operations). The EZFleet fleet management module provides orchestration and mission control across deployed autonomous assets. EasyMile operates through a joint venture with TLD called TractEasy for distribution. The company has shifted focus from passenger shuttles to industrial and airport logistics, with 30+ commercial deployments in operation across Europe, US, Middle East, and Asia.

Scale indicators19 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Plus AI: Plus develops AI-based autonomous driving software for commercial trucks, overlapping with EasyMile's heavy-duty autonomy stack and serving industrial/logistics end markets.
• Kodiak Robotics: Kodiak develops autonomous trucking technology for long-haul freight, addressing similar heavy-duty autonomy challenges (perception, planning, safety) to EasyMile but in a different operating domain.
• Nuro: Nuro builds autonomous driving technology for goods movement and logistics, with overlapping AI/perception stack technology and a similar licensing-to-fleet business model orientation.
• Aurora Innovation: Aurora is building the Aurora Driver autonomy platform for trucking and logistics. Comparable technology stack targeting heavy-duty autonomous freight, though focused on highway trucking rather than airside/yard operations.

Regional players

• TuSimple: TuSimple develops autonomous trucking technology primarily for the US long-haul freight market. Comparable heavy-duty autonomy technology stack but with limited overlap in EasyMile's airport and industrial-site focus.

Broad incumbents

• Waymo (Alphabet): Waymo is the leading commercial autonomous driving platform, focused on robotaxis and trucking. It validates the broader autonomy thesis and represents a long-term competitive threat in heavy-duty applications adjacent to EasyMile's focus.
• Mobileye: Mobileye is an incumbent supplier of ADAS and autonomous driving perception technology across automotive and mobility. As a broad incumbent in autonomous perception and mapping, it represents both an indirect competitor and a potential partner for EasyMile's industrial deployments.

Direct peers

• Aurrigo: Aurrigo develops autonomous vehicles for airports, cargo handling, and urban mobility — directly comparable to EasyMile's EZTow/EZDolly airside solutions and overlapping in target customers such as airport ground handlers.
• Oxa (formerly Oxbotica): Oxa provides universal autonomy software for industrial and mobility applications, with deployments at airports and industrial sites. Closely comparable to EasyMile's platform-agnostic software stack approach.
• Outrider: Outrider develops autonomous yard operations for logistics and distribution centers, directly comparable to EasyMile's industrial logistics towing use cases (e.g., BMW, Voestalpine deployments).
