Full Truck Alliance (FTA), also known as Manbang Group, is a leading digital freight platform in China that connects shippers with truck drivers to streamline the logistics and transportation process. Often referred to as the "Uber for trucks," FTA provides a centralized platform where users can post and accept shipping jobs, creating a more efficient and transparent freight matching system.
Founded in 2017 through the merger of Yunmanman and Huochebang, the company has built an extensive ecosystem for the trucking industry. Its platform offers features such as freight listing, real-time order matching, route optimization, and vehicle management tools. By digitizing the traditionally fragmented logistics industry, FTA helps reduce idle time, improve fuel efficiency, and cut down on empty truck miles.
In addition to core freight-matching services, Full Truck Alliance offers various value-added services like electronic toll collection, insurance solutions, and vehicle maintenance tools—all aimed at supporting drivers and fleet operators in managing their operations more effectively.
FTA is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and big data analytics to enhance the efficiency of its logistics platform. These technologies are being used to optimize load matching, predict delivery times, and monitor transportation trends. The company has also expressed intentions to expand into international markets and increase its focus on sustainability, including the integration of electric vehicles into its network and initiatives aimed at reducing the industry’s carbon footprint.
