Volvo Autonomous Solutions, founded 2020, runs Aurora Driver-powered Volvo VNL Autonomous trucks on a live Dallas-Oklahoma City freight lane with AVI-SPL.
Volvo Autonomous Solutions is a business area of the Volvo Group, founded in 2020 to develop and commercialize autonomous transport systems for on-road and off-road use. The unit's official contact channel lists a Gothenburg-area telephone number (+46 31 660000) and the email [email protected], consistent with the wider Volvo Group's headquarters location in Gothenburg, Sweden. The business is organized around two named product lines: Autona/freight, targeting autonomous long-haul highway trucking, and Autona/earth, targeting autonomous haulage in mining and quarrying operations. On the freight side, Volvo Autonomous Solutions has partnered with Aurora Innovation to deploy the Volvo VNL Autonomous truck running the Aurora Driver self-driving system; commercial operations began on a Dallas-Houston lane in June 2026 in partnership with technology-services company AVI-SPL, and by July 2026 the partners had expanded operations to a new lane connecting Dallas and Oklahoma City, removing intermediate terminal transfers that previously interrupted freight movement between the two lanes. Volvo has also run driver-transfer testing with autonomous-trucking company Waabi as part of validating handoffs between automated and human-driven segments of a route. On the earth-moving side, the company offers autonomous, cabless Volvo FH-based haulers for mining and quarry operations, aimed at removing drivers from repetitive, hazardous haul routes and enabling continuous, around-the-clock operation. The company frames its work around three drivers common to both product lines: transport safety, addressing driver shortages in trucking and mining labor markets, and improving asset utilization by running vehicles beyond the hours a human driver could sustain. Volvo Autonomous Solutions also runs a reservation program allowing freight customers to sign up for future access to autonomous freight capacity as new lanes come online. As a business area within the publicly listed Volvo Group (Volvo AB), the unit draws on Volvo's existing truck manufacturing, sales, and service network rather than building a wholly separate hardware supply chain, while its autonomy software stack for freight is supplied through its partnership with Aurora rather than developed entirely in-house. Employee count and a specific street address for the unit's headquarters were not confirmed from the sources reviewed for this profile.
