Most of this technology is also used in the autonomous truck for mining operations that Volvo Group unveiled in 2016. The autonomous truck currently being tested is fitted with a sensor system for identification, navigation, and monitoring of the vehicle’s vicinity. Gearchanging, steering and speed are constantly optimised for low fuel consumption and emissions. The autonomous truck also offers major environmental upsides. “One important benefit of the new technology is a reduction in the risk of occupational injuries, such as wear in knee joints – otherwise a common ailment among staff working with refuse collection,” explains Lars Stenqvist. The route is pre-programmed and the truck drives itself from one wheelie-bin to the next. Sensors continuously monitor the vehicle’s vicinity and the truck stops immediately if an obstacle suddenly appears in its path. Volvo Group’s autonomous refuse truck is designed to make the driving safer in built-up areas, not least when reversing. Our self-driving refuse truck is leading the way in this field globally, and one of several exciting autonomous innovations we are working with right now,” says Lars Stenqvist, Chief Technology Officer, Volvo Group. “There is amazing potential to transform the swift pace of technical developments in automation into practical benefits for customers and, more broadly, society in general.
