Caterpillar (CAT) has acquired struggling autonomous electric tractor startup Monarch Tractor, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The green start-up, which has cut staff in recent months, said in a LinkedIn post last week that its core technology had been bought by "a large global equipment manufacturer."
Neither Caterpillar nor Monarch Tractor immediately responded to MT Newswires' request for comment.
