ISEE Taps Holman to Scale Autonomous Yard Truck Deployments

ISEE, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based autonomous yard truck developer, has partnered with Holman, an existing investor, to expand deployments across North America. Under the agreement, Holman will handle leasing, retrofitting and maintenance of trucks equipped with ISEE's autonomy system. Customers have three options: deploy the technology on existing fleet vehicles, lease equipment from Holman, or purchase autonomous-ready trucks from ISEE. Holman will manage vehicle preparation and financing before delivery to customers. The partnership addresses a critical gap for shippers lacking ready-to-deploy fleets. ISEE president Debbie Yu noted the company previously lacked in-house retrofit capacity while running pilots. Holman, which established its robotics division in December 2025, operates a nationwide network of service centers and technicians. ISEE is now pursuing deployments with multiple Fortune 100 customers. These customers plan to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles over the coming years. The company also expects factory-built units through its existing partnership with terminal tractor manufacturer TICO beginning in 2027.
