Vera: The future of Volvo Trucks

Écrit par George Thistlethwaite
Paru le 24 septembre 2018

Designed to deliver cargo between logistic platforms, the Vera ‘tractor’ developed by Volvo Trucks will be tested soon among selected customers.

This is a new autonomous and electric transport vehicle - a sort of flat tractor without a driver’s cabin - that is designed to move large volumes of cargo short distances.

It will be especially useful in container ports that require round-the-clock deliveries. "We believe that there will always be a driver behind the wheel in the coming years, but that does not stop us from offering stand-alone trucks for confined spaces," said Lars Stenqvist, Chief Technology Officer for Volvo Trucks.

The technology is also designed to help with vehicle platooning, which Volvo has been researching for many years. In this scenario, vehicles traveling on the same route will cooperate to optimize the flow. “In order to secure a smoothly functioning goods flow system we also need to exploit existing infrastructure better than currently. The transport system we are developing can be an important complement to today’s solutions and can help meet many of the challenges faced by society, transport companies and transport buyers,” said Claes Nilsson, President Volvo Trucks.
