PlusAI has filed an S-4 registration with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for its merger with Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp., valuing the company at $800 million and targeting up to $300 million in capital. The deal supports PlusAI’s plan to commercially launch factory-built autonomous trucks powered by its SuperDrive software in 2027. The company operates freight routes in Texas with Ryder and International and collaborates with Traton Group, Hyundai, and Iveco. Its HyperFoundry platform has generated $25 million in year-to-date revenue.
According to roboticsandautomationnews.com, PlusAI has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its proposed merger with Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp., moving closer to a public listing on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “PXAI”.
Merger progress and capital structure
PlusAI and Texas Ventures Acquisition III announced their definitive business combination agreement on September 3, 2026. The transaction values PlusAI at approximately $800 million in pre-money equity value and is expected to provide up to approximately $300 million in capital. This includes more than $60 million of fully committed financing and approximately $236 million currently held in the Texas Ventures III trust.
The registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC, and the business combination remains subject to customary closing conditions. If completed, the combined company will operate as PlusAI and pursue its commercialization roadmap through public-market funding.
David Liu, co-founder and CEO of PlusAI, said:
“This filing is another important step toward completing our business combination and becoming a publicly traded company. We remain focused on execution as we advance SuperDrive toward the targeted 2027 commercial launch of factory-built autonomous trucks with our global OEM partners. At the same time, HyperFoundry is generating revenue today by monetizing the proprietary Physical AI capabilities we have built over a decade. We believe the public markets can provide PlusAI with the capital and platform to execute our commercialization roadmap and build a global leader in Physical AI.”
Commercial deployment and revenue generation
PlusAI is currently operating autonomous freight routes in Texas with Ryder and International. Its strategy emphasizes factory integration of its SuperDrive autonomous driving system — rather than retrofitting — with global truck manufacturers including Traton Group, Hyundai, and Iveco ahead of the targeted 2027 commercial launch.
Alongside its autonomous trucking program, the company generates current revenue through HyperFoundry, a platform commercializing its proprietary Physical AI technology. According to the report, HyperFoundry has generated $25 million in revenue year-to-date.
The S-4 filing represents a key regulatory milestone in the merger process. Subject to completion, PlusAI expects the public listing to accelerate commercialization of SuperDrive and its broader Physical AI technology stack.
