Arrow McLaren adds autonomous trucking pioneer Aurora as official partner

Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team on Tuesday announced a multi-year partnership with Aurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUR), welcoming the self-driving technology company as an Official Partner.

Aurora is transforming the movement of goods with the Aurora Driver, its self-driving system that enables a Class 8 truck to drive itself. Trucking is a trillion dollar industry in the US but it faces challenges, including an aging driver population, skyrocketing operating costs and underutilized assets. These challenges make autonomy - which adds safe, reliable capacity without displacing jobs - valuable to the industry and society.

Last year, Aurora became the first company to launch a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads. Aurora recently released its se
cond-generation driverless truck and plans to expand across the Sun Belt.
The partnership will showcase Aurora branding across the Arrow McLaren team kit beginning at Portland International Raceway August 7-9. For the 2027 season, their branding will extend to driver firesuits and the engine cover of the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet.
