Creating solutions capable of maximising transport efficiency through advanced automation is the goal of an entire industry. Volvo Autonomous Solutions believes it’s likely to happen first in the controlled world of quarrying and mining.
After developing steadily, step-by-careful-step, for more than 100 years, the automotive world is currently in the grip of a two-sided revolution: on the one side under pressure to reduce emissions by going electric, and on the other, striving to reach the Holy Grail of transport – the vehicle/machine that doesn’t need an operator. While great strides have been taken in the switch to hybrid and all-electric drive, creating autonomous transport is proving harder to perfect.
