    October 21, 2025

    Companies seeking a supportive environment and the space for Automotive and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) research and development will find a home in Gallup, NM. McKinley County, GGEDC and  expert consultant Kimley-Horn has focused on siting an Automotive Proving Ground complex near the Gallup Energy Logistics Park north of Gallup, NM. The facility could serve the technology testing needs of the emerging AV freight trucking industry while spurring interest in other automotive and AV-related development activities. 

    A plan for the future of Autonomous Vehicles

    As a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) Certified Site strategically located near U.S. Highway 491, Gallup Energy Logistics Park provides industrial access and transloading operations to serve the technology testing needs of the emerging AV trucking and other vehicle industry. The Automotive / AV Proving Ground Complex concept would include a testing track, laboratories, offices and manufacturing facilities.

    Join the movement and be part of the great potential to serve the automotive industry and provide good-paying jobs in the Gallup-McKinley County region today!
