INDIANAPOLIS, October 22, 2024 – Allison Ventures, Allison Transmission’s venture capital arm, has made a strategic investment in Agtonomy, a software and services company specializing in advanced autonomous and AI solutions for agriculture and industrial applications. With this investment Allison will support Agtonomy in enhancing commercial productivity and operational efficiency through advanced automation and connectivity.

Founded in 2021, Agtonomy integrates its technology into well-known tractors and equipment, converting them into a digitally controlled, task-oriented system for agriculture that prioritizes safety, profitability and environmental sustainability. The California-based company has quickly distinguished itself with its innovative teleguidance application, which allows a single user to monitor and control a fleet, significantly reducing labor costs and increasing productivity for farmers.

"We are thrilled to welcome Allison to our distinguished group of investors. Their support is pivotal as we advance our mission to harness cutting-edge autonomy and AI solutions,” said Tim Bucher, CEO, Agtonomy. “Together, we are setting the stage for transformative impacts across industries." 

The investment will help provide Agtonomy with the necessary resources to expand its pilot program. This expansion will encompass a broader geographical reach as well as additional vehicle and implement platforms, catering to a more diverse range of agricultural needs and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the program.

"Allison Ventures is delighted to partner with Agtonomy, a company that not only aligns with our specific investment goals but also embodies our broader commitment to fostering innovation across various strategic domains,” said Todd Bradford, Vice President, Strategy, Business and Corporate Development, Allison Transmission. "This partnership extends beyond mere financial investment; it is about actively engaging in a journey of shared knowledge and technical collaboration."
