Volvo group status – commercial trails and pilots
Examples autonomous initiatives
- First commercial pilot starting during beginning of 2020 – transporting limestone within a open pit to a crusher, Brönnöy Norway
- Vera - transfer containers from a DFDS logistics centre to an APM Terminals port facility in Gothenburg
Step vice approach start with confined areas and ramp up the complexity. Timeline and roadmap NOT externally communicated, will be during each launch of new pilot and trail.

KRABAT - Autonomous city buses : Tree main use cases - Bus stop, Bus train, Depot process
Targets
n General The objective is to build up knowledge (theoretical and practical)by develop* automated driving of electrified buses.
* Research level, no production implementation
2019-09-12
Bus stop docking Bus train Depot process
Effective and safe bus stops (in run and positioning).
During peak hours connect two buses to operate in a train –increase passengers capacity, no extended time for intersections and stops.
Autonomous relocation of buses within a bus depot.
