LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Driverless cargo shuttles could transform trade between Laredo and Mexico by 2032 under a $10 billion project presented to the Laredo Port of Entry Committee.
Green Corridors outlined plans for an autonomous bridge system that will carry cargo trucks on driverless shuttles between Laredo and Monterrey. The company showed a demonstration video revealing the shuttle design and operation during the committee meeting.
The project received a presidential permit in June 2025, with construction required to begin within five years. Green Corridors says the project is privately funded, with completion expected by 2032.
Lorne Alcock, chief of staff for Green Corridors, said the technology will benefit the environment through reduced fuel consumption.
“The shuttles are autonomous, but they’re powered by diesel electric motors, similar to a locomotive on a train,” Alcock said. “The key feature there is that there are no people involved. It’s completely autonomous and has a 75% reduction in diesel fuel. For the same amount of weight to go the same distance, it’s 75% less.”
Alcock said Green Corridors has already signed a memorandum of understanding with Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia for the cross-border project.
