Aurora expands freight network and V.A.S. starts operations to customer endpoints
OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUR) and Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) today announced the expansion of their autonomous freight network with a new 200-mile route between Dallas and Oklahoma City. The expansion marks a significant milestone as V.A.S. begins hauling freight to customer facilities in Oklahoma City with the Volvo VNL Autonomous integrated with the Aurora Driver.
Expanding to New Freight Markets
The Oklahoma City program currently supports trips five days a week in supervised autonomy. By logging hundreds of miles, the Volvo VNL Autonomous integrated with the Aurora Driver supports safer, quicker, and more efficient movement of goods, enabling V.A.S. to provide a premium service.
By operating directly to customer facilities, V.A.S. can reduce the need for drayage moves and additional handoffs, helping remove complexity from the logistics flow. Customers also benefit from Volvo’s extensive dealer network, robust service support, and proven uptime capabilities, helping them adopt autonomous transport while maintaining efficiency. (....)
