Volvo Autonomous Solutions

Santa Claus spotted! Our autonomous trucks don't miss a thing – not even Santa Claus making a surprise visit to our Concept Vehicle Lab! At V.A.S., our technologies are built to see what others can’t, delivering safety and precision all year round. With a little extra holiday cheer from Santa himself, we’re ready to roll into the season – and the future – fully autonomously. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season! 🚛🎄 #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

Autonomous operations have started! Last week, we began transporting freight for DHL Supply Chain with our purpose-built Volvo VNL Autonomous integrated with the Aurora virtual driver. The autonomous transport operations are running between Fort Worth and El Paso, as well as Dallas and Houston, with a safety driver on board. This milestone brings increased efficiency and much-needed freight capacity to the North American transport network. #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

Building the future of autonomous trucking starts with world-class manufacturing! The Volvo VNL Autonomous, designed for commercial operations, is built at Volvo's New River Valley Plant—the largest Volvo Trucks plant in the world. Want to see where the magic happens? Take a drone ride through the cutting-edge facility and witness innovation in action. #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

We’re now moving goods with self-driving trucks through Texas with our partner DHL Supply Chain – one of the most extensive logistics operators in the world. Jason Gillespie, DHL Senior Director of Continuous Improvement and Innovation, and Sasko Cuklev, Head of On-Road Solutions for V.A.S., spoke to Fleet Owner Magazine about the launch, our autonomous technology, the roadmap to full autonomous operations, and whether 2025 will be the year of autonomous trucking.

Together with DHL Supply Chain, we’re taking a significant step towards transforming freight transportation in the United States with the launch of our autonomous operations. Enabled by the Volvo VNL Autonomous and powered by the Aurora Driver, the operations represent a pivotal step in validating the comprehensive ecosystem needed to scale autonomous transport. “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,” stated Nils Chr. Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions. At this stage, a safety driver will monitor performance and ensure seamless integration into existing logistic networks. Freight will be hauled on two lanes: Dallas to Houston and Fort Worth to El Paso. Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dd9UWjsW #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

When it comes to new and evolving technologies, fear of the unknown is natural. That’s why, at Volvo Autonomous Solutions, we prioritize transparency at every step of the process – from building our safety case to real-world application. After many years of testing and development, we’re proud to be validating our solutions on highways in Texas. This milestone brings us one step closer to making the autonomous transport ecosystem a reality – and, importantly, delivering on the promise of autonomy. #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

Do you think the Pantone Color of the Year 2025 suits the Volvo FH? #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

From concept to validation: in collaboration with Aurora, our purpose-built Volvo VNL Autonomous has hit the highway in Texas ahead of our commercial operations. This exciting milestone brings us one step closer to realizing an autonomous transport ecosystem. Stay tuned for more updates. #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

We're excited to welcome Dr. Ingo Stürmer as our new Head of Technology. Ingo joins us to lead the development of our Volvo Autonomous Driving Platform, focusing on efficient and scalable design. With extensive experience in software development and autonomous vehicles – including leadership roles at APTIV, Cruise, Volkswagen, and most recently Einride – Ingo's expertise will be instrumental in further developing our autonomous driving capabilities and advancing the commercialization of our autonomous transport solutions. Welcome to the team, Ingo! #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety

Born in 1996, reimagined in 2024. The new Volvo VNL Autonomous is just the beginning of our commitment to driving the future of autonomy. Safety: Built from the ground up with redundant systems in steering, braking, communication, and power management—critical for autonomous operations. Efficiency: 10% more fuel efficient than the previous model. Scalability: The first truck on Volvo’s standardized global autonomous platform, setting the stage for expanding autonomy across all Volvo Group brands, geographies, and applications. #VolvoAutonomousSolutions #VAS #GuidedBySafety
