Overnight freight deliveries could more than double the utilization of a truck, PlusAI said. The company expects to introduce night driving on customer routes in the coming weeks.

International Motors posted a second consecutive quarterly loss in the fourth quarter of 2025 as the Traton Group division’s truck sales dropped 40% year over year and tariffs bit harder.

PlusAI and the Traton Group are expanding their partnership to accelerate the scaled deployment of on-highway autonomous trucking in the U.S. and Europe, the companies announced.

International Motors’ sales volume dived 34% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2025 to 15,800 trucks and buses from 23,800 in the year-ago period, parent company Traton said Jan. 20.

The company, whose parent is Traton Group, warned that high electricity and labor costs paired with rising pressure from Asian competitors are weighing on results.

International Motors sold 13,400 trucks and buses in the third quarter of 2025, a 57% decrease compared with 31,500 sales in the year-ago period, parent company Traton Group said Oct. 10.

Details on how the levies would be imposed and collected were scant as of Oct. 2, which kept truck makers understandably tight-lipped about the potential impact.

Both Daimler and Traton operate assembly sites in Mexico that may be affected by the levies.

Traton Group is not as optimistic as at least one of its peers about the prospects for North American medium- and heavy-duty truck demand in the second half of 2025, CEO Christian Levin said.

International sold 14,628 trucks in the most recent quarter, compared with 13,143 trucks a year earlier.
