Motrec and Anantak Robotics Launch the Fully Autonomous MX340 Tow Tractor for Industrial Operations

Sherbrooke, QC — December 15, 2025 — Motrec International is proud to announce the launch of its first fully autonomous MX340 Tow Tractor, developed in partnership with Anantak Robotics, a pioneer in camera and LiDAR-based navigation technologies.

This innovative collaboration brings Motrec one step closer to realizing its vision of safer, smarter, and more efficient industrial mobility. The new Autonomous MX340 leverages Anantak’s advanced perception systems and AI-based navigation to enable precise, fully automated movement within dynamic industrial environments, without the need for infrastructure modifications.

“Following our successful integration of autonomous technologies with other industry partners, this new collaboration with Anantak Robotics represents another major milestone in Motrec’s innovation roadmap,” said Marc Breton, Director of Sales and Business Development at Motrec International. “We’re combining Motrec’s proven reliability and performance with Anantak’s intelligent navigation system to deliver a truly next-generation vehicle that meets the evolving needs of manufacturing and logistics operations.”

The MX340 Autonomous Tow Tractor is one of the first hybrid solutions on the market capable of both manual and autonomous operation. It can tow up to 20,000 lbs and offers a 68-inch turning radius, ideal for tight industrial spaces.

Anantak’s navigation platform combines camera vision, LiDAR mapping, and AI-driven obstacle detection to provide reliable localization and smooth path planning in dynamic environments. The system continuously learns and adapts, allowing the vehicle to operate safely alongside people, forklifts, and other mobile equipment.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Motrec to bring our technology into real-world industrial environments,” said Manuj Naman, CEO of Anantak Robotics. “Together, we’re delivering a solution that redefines what’s possible in automation, combining robust, proven electric vehicles with intelligent, flexible autonomy. This collaboration will help organizations improve safety, productivity, and data-driven decision-making.”

The Autonomous MX340 will debut with select Motrec customers in late 2025, with broader availability expected in 2026.

Motrec’s ongoing investment in autonomous vehicle technologies underscores its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the continuous improvement of industrial mobility solutions.
