In Pictures: Volvo’s vision of the future of autonomous, electric vehicles
SHARE
The transport solution consists of autonomous, connected, electric vehicles and a transport control centre.
Each vehicle is connected to a control centre. The transport control centre continuously monitors the progress of the transport and keeps an accurate watch of each vehicle’s position, the batteries’ charge, load content, service requirements and a number of other parameters.
The vehicles are used as tractor units and are compatible with existing load carriers/trailers.
The propulsion is entirely electric with zero exhaust emissions and low noise levels.
The driveline and battery pack are of the same type that are used in Volvo Trucks’ electric trucks.
