Volvo Autonomous Truck
Volvo Autonomous Solutions (VAS) is a subsidiary of the Volvo Group developing autonomous transport solutions for hub-to-hub trucking, mining, and port logistics. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, with a North American office in Texas, VAS has strategic partnerships with [Waabi](https://waabi.ai) and [Aurora](https://aurora.tech) to integrate autonomous driving stacks into Volvo trucks. The Waabi partnership produced a custom-built Volvo VNL autonomous truck unveiled in October 2025.
Current platform
Volvo VNL Autonomous
Volvo's production-ready, purpose-built-for-autonomy Class 8 truck (unveiled at ACT Expo May 2024), engineered with six redundant systems (braking, steering, communication, computing, power, energy storage/motion control). It is a virtual-driver-agnostic platform: it runs the Aurora Driver (Aurora integration) and is also the integration platform for the Waabi Driver. Currently hauls paid freight for DHL and DSV in Texas with a safety driver present.
