Integration of the Volvo VNL Autonomous powered by the Waabi Driver into Warp’s network unlocks autonomy for LTL freight segment. Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) and Waabi today announced the start of autonomous operation for Warp in Texas, the first customer operation in the Volvo-Waabi partnership. The Volvo VNL Autonomous powered by the Waabi Driver is now transporting freight directly to third-party facilities along the Dallas–Houston corridor. These operations will enable Warp, an open-source freight network that provides less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) freight services for carriers and shippers, to transport its customers’ goods autonomously along the corridor.
The start of customer operations between V.A.S. and Waabi marks a milestone in the two companies’ partnership. Integrating V.A.S.’ autonomous transport ecosystem Autona / freight into Warp’s freight network creates opportunities to optimize freight flows and support more efficient movement of goods as demand grows. Autona / freight brings together the Volvo VNL Autonomous, Waabi’s autonomous driving technology, fleet and transport management, terminals and customer endpoints, operations, and uptime support to deliver a complete transport solution designed to scale.
