ANE analyzes 2B+ telemetry/load records yearly to cut empty miles 18% and fuel use ~12%; dynamic reroutes (~9% runs/day) keep network cost/mile at $1.32 (2025). Automated hubs handled 4.2M tons in 2025 with $85M capex since 2021, 2.7h dwell; 3,200+ stations onboarded (−28% time) and $4.5M incentives drove 7.8% QoS gain.
