Volvo Autonomous Solutions

Successful fleet management depends on having trucks available and maximizing utilization of those trucks. Our Head of Operations for on-road autonomous freight, Alan Oakley, will walk you through it.

What are the similarities between humans and autonomous trucks? Shahrukh Kazmi, Chief Product Officer at Volvo Autonomous Solutions, explains.

What does it take to make autonomous transport work at a mine or quarry? Every mine and quarry operates differently. Routes, infrastructure, site conditions and operational needs all shape how autonomous transport is implemented. Autona/ earth brings the different parts together – from the vehicle and Volvo Virtual Driver to fleet management, infrastructure, operations and uptime – in a solution tailored to each site. That's how we make autonomous transport work as part of the overall operation. #AutonaEarth

Our autonomous trucks don't take coffee breaks. But that doesn’t mean our operators don’t enjoy a well-earned break every once in a while. It’s easy to forget that autonomy is a solution driven by humans. Even if they are not behind the wheel.

We have now hauled more than three million tonnes of material for our mining and quarrying customers. All of it autonomously. Every tonne moved is proof that autonomous transport is not a future concept, but a practical solution delivering real, measurable results today.

Autonomy is about more than sensors, algorithms and AI. It is also about how the vehicle is driven in the real world. In demanding mining and quarry environments, factors such as steep gradients, heavy loads and changing surface conditions put vehicle dynamics at the center of performance. By combining our autonomous software with direct access to the Volvo base vehicle and deep expertise in vehicle dynamics, we can develop the virtual driver and the truck as one system. The result is more predictable, consistent and efficient performance, shift after shift. #AutonaEarth
