“You’re the first people in the world to see these VNX trucks,” said John Moore, product marketing manager for vocational vehicles at Volvo Trucks North America.
There’s a big difference between remotely piloting trucks at five mph on job sites and moving them at 60 mph down Texas highways, but Volvo is doing both.
Nils Jaeger, president of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, told Autoweek, “We will be on the Texas roads in Q1 of 2027 without safety drivers.
Arizona is next after Texas, with driverless operations slated to start in the second half of 2027.
Volvo also has VNX-adjacent autonomous vehicles working in Norway, where they’ve hauled more than a million tons of quarried limestone.
