In it for the long haul. Move goods from hub-to-hub with our Autonomous Transport Solutions for highway trucking. By introducing a new source of capacity to the existing transport system, we offer a flexible autonomous solution that increases efficiency and safety while keeping drivers closer to home.
A growing demand for freight, shortage of drivers and mounting concerns about health and safety– the long-haul transport industry is primed to benefit from autonomy. Our Autonomous Transport Solution (ATS) for highways delivers autonomous freight capacity for shippers, carriers, logistics providers, and freight brokers who want to be at the forefront of industry transformation.
Our solution includes a wide range of services: our autonomy-enabled Volvo VNL, the Aurora driver, infrastructure, repair and maintenance and more. Based on a Transport as a Service (TaaS) model, with our solutions, you only pay for the capacity you use.
By offering autonomous freight capacity, our complete solution increases efficiency by enabling your operations to run 24/7. With our autonomous trucks taking care of the long haul, you can optimize your drivers’ working hours and increase job satisfaction by keeping them closer to home.
Freight demands are unpredictable and can fluctuate, so flexibility is key to keeping your business running. Our Autonomous Transport Solution is fully scalable, so you can always optimize based on your current needs. This flexibility also enables better asset utilization for increased efficiency and profitability.
Offered as Transport as a Service—with our solutions you only pay for the capacity you need and take advantage of an off-balance sheet solution that reduces financial risk.
