LOS ANGELES – Fresh from winning a CES Innovation Awards® 2026 Honoree designation, Korean logistics technology company GLEC Inc. is accelerating its American market expansion strategy and preparing for Pre-A funding round, company executives announced. The Incheon-based startup's recognition by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) for its GLEC AI Tachograph significantly enhances the company's positioning with American investors and potential partners who are increasingly focused on logistics technology and environmental solutions. Market Timing and Opportunity GLEC Inc.'s technology addresses a critical inflection point in the American logistics industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission's new climate disclosure rules require public companies to report carbon emissions across their supply chains, while individual states like California have implemented additional environmental regulations for commercial vehicles. The American trucking industry, which moves approximately 72% of the nation's freight by weight, faces both regulatory pressure and operational challenges. Driver safety remains a paramount concern, with commercial vehicle accidents causing significant economic losses and insurance costs. GLEC AI Tachograph offers American logistics companies a dual-benefit solution: reducing accident risks by 20-40% through AI-powered real-time warnings while automatically tracking and reporting carbon emissions according to ISO-14083 international standards. "American fleet operators are looking for solutions that deliver immediate operational value while positioning them for regulatory compliance," said Eun-woo Kim, Chief Operating Officer. "Our CES Innovation Award provides third-party validation that resonates with American business decision-makers and investors." Technology Differentiation in Competitive Market The American market for fleet management technology is mature and competitive, with established players offering various telematics and safety solutions. GLEC Inc.'s differentiation lies in its integration of cutting-edge AI technology with comprehensive carbon accounting capabilities in a single platform. The company's use of a 20B parameter Large Language Model with 4-bit quantization enables sophisticated real-time analysis on vehicle-mounted hardware – a technical achievement that major American technology companies are still pursuing for autonomous vehicle applications. The proprietary Vehicle Context Protocol (VCP) integrates multiple data streams including vehicle CAN bus data, GPS information, traffic conditions, and analog sensors to deliver contextually relevant warnings and insights to drivers. Strategic Partnerships and Investment Plans GLEC Inc. is pursuing strategic partnerships with American logistics companies, fleet management providers, and vehicle manufacturers. The company is also in discussions with venture capital firms and strategic investors interested in logistics technology and climate tech sectors. "The CES Innovation Award significantly accelerates our fundraising timeline," Kim explained. "American investors understand the value of CES recognition, and it provides credibility that shortens the due diligence process. We're targeting completion of our Pre-A round in 2026 to fund American market operations." The company plans to establish operations in the United States to support American customers and partners, with potential locations under consideration in California and Texas, which represent major logistics hubs. CES 2026 as Business Platform GLEC Inc. will use CES 2026 as a platform for intensive business development, with scheduled meetings with American fleet operators, technology partners, and investors. The company will exhibit at the Innovation Awards Showcase at the Venetian Expo from January 6-9, 2026. Jae-won Ji, Operations Planning Team Manager, noted: "We're approaching CES 2026 as a business development opportunity, not just a product showcase. We have meetings scheduled with several major American logistics companies and are in discussions with potential distribution partners." Company Background and Technology GLEC Inc. develops AI-powered digital tachograph systems, API-based carbon calculation platforms, and cloud-based Logistics Carbon Accounting and Management Systems (LCAMS). The company is based at Incheon Startup Park and is pursuing GLEC Tool certification from Smart Freight Centre, making it the first Korean company to undertake this international certification. The company's technology portfolio addresses the complete logistics carbon management lifecycle, from vehicle-level measurement to enterprise reporting and regulatory compliance. About GLEC Inc.
