Robotic Research rebrands as Forterra as it switches to military and offroad focus
By Bradley Osborne - 2nd April 2024
USA – Robotic Research Inc, an autonomous driving technology company based in Clarksburg, Maryland, has announced a change of name to ‘Forterra’, which it says reflects its narrower focus on defence and offroad applications.
The company has worked with various partners over the 20 years since its foundation: on-highway vehicle manufacturers it has collaborated with include NFI and Gillig. However, the rebranded firm has elected to focus instead on military contracts and off-highway commercial trucks, which it believes will carry fewer risks and provide quicker returns on investment.
