      GOTHENBURG, Svezia, November 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

      Volvo Trucks ha appena siglato con Brønnøy Kalk AS, in Norvegia, un accordo storico per la fornitura della sua prima soluzione commerciale a guida autonoma adibita al trasporto di calcare da una miniera a cielo aperto al vicino porto.

      La soluzione proposta a Brønnøy Kalk AS prevede il trasporto di calcare da parte di sei veicoli Volvo FH a guida autonoma su un tratto di cinque chilometri attraverso le gallerie che collegano la miniera al frantoio. I test di questa soluzione hanno avuto esito positivo e proseguiranno per tutto il 2018, fino al raggiungimento della completa operatività entro la fine del 2019.

      L'accordo segue ai recenti progetti di automazione di grande successo che riguardano il settore minerario, la raccolta della canna da zucchero e la raccolta dei rifiuti. Eppure questa soluzione commerciale rappresenta per Volvo Trucks un'entusiasmante prima esperienza. Infatti, Brønnøy Kalk non acquista i veicoli a guida autonoma, ma una soluzione appositamente creata per il trasporto del calcare tra i due hub.

       "Questo rappresenta per noi un passo importante", afferma Raymond Langfjord, Managing Director della miniera. "La concorrenza nel settore è agguerrita. Ecco perché cerchiamo di aumentare continuamente i nostri livelli di efficienza e produttività a lungo termine e abbiamo una visione chiara di come utilizzare le nuove opportunità offerte dalla tecnologia e dalle soluzioni digitali.  Desideravamo un partner affidabile e innovativo, che condividesse la nostra attenzione alla sostenibilità e alla sicurezza.

      L'autonomia aumenterà in modo significativo la nostra competitività in un mercato globale complesso".

      "Siamo orgogliosi di poter presentare una soluzione a guida autonoma che consentirà ai nostri clienti di superare le sfide legate a sicurezza, affidabilità e redditività", afferma Claes Nilsson, Presidente di Volvo Trucks. Le esigenze dei trasporti globali cambiano continuamente e a ritmo sostenuto e il settore necessita di soluzioni nuove e avanzate per poter stare al passo. Il nostro obiettivo è essere leader nello sviluppo di prodotti e servizi in grado di rispondere a tali esigenze", continua Claes Nilsson.

       "È emozionante aver finalmente raggiunto il momento dell'introduzione delle soluzioni a guida autonoma", afferma Sasko Cuklev, Director Autonomous Solutions presso Volvo Trucks. "Lavorando in un'area limitata su un percorso prestabilito, possiamo scoprire come ottenere il meglio dalla soluzione e modificarla in base alle esigenze specifiche dei clienti. Dobbiamo collaborare per sviluppare nuove soluzioni, offrendo non solo più flessibilità ed efficienza, ma anche una maggiore produttività".

      In base all'accordo, il cliente acquista un servizio di trasporto completo e paga per tonnellata consegnata.

      Dati: Prima soluzione commerciale a guida autonoma di Volvo Trucks
