Next step towards autonomous transport! Volvo Autonomous Solutions and DHL Supply Chain launch autonomous operations in the US.
The Volvo VNL Autonomous, powered by the Aurora Driver, will be running on key routes in Texas initially with a safety driver on board to monitor performance. The start of operations marks a critical phase in validating the full ecosystem required for autonomous transport at scale.
“As part of the Volvo Group, we have access to industry-leading product development, world-class manufacturing and a mature dealer and service network. For a large-scale deployment of autonomy, in addition to the autonomous truck, there also needs to be a cohesive and seamless support network of surrounding infrastructure, which creates a comprehensive autonomous ecosystem that enables daily operations,” says Nils Chr. Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions.
