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

Volvo Trucks har nettopp inngått en milepælsavtale med Brønnøy Kalk AS i Norge om å levere Volvo Trucks' første kommersielle førerløse løsning til transport av kalkstein fra en åpen gruve til en havn i nærheten.

Klikk her for å se denne Multimedia News release: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8449551-volvo-trucks-autonomous-transport-solution/  

Løsningen for Brønnøy Kalk AS består av seks førerløse Volvo FH16-lastebiler som skal transportere kalkstein  en fem kilometer lang strekning gjennom tunneler mellom selve gruven og knuseverket. Løsningen har vært gjennom vellykkede tester, og testene vil fortsette gjennom 2018 før løsningen tas i drift innen utgangen av 2019.

Avtalen kommer i kjølvannet av nylige vellykkede automatiseringsprosjekter innenfor blant annet gruvedrift, innhøsting av sukkerrør og avfallsinnsamling. Denne kommersielle løsningen er likevel en spennende ny erfaring for Volvo Trucks. I stedet for å kjøpe autonome lastebiler kjøper Brønnøy Kalk en hel transportløsning til frakt av kalkstein mellom de to terminalene.

 «Dette er et viktig skritt for oss», sier daglig leder ved gruven, Raymond Langfjord. «Konkurransen i bransjen er tøff. Vi jobber hele tiden med å øke effektiviteten og produktiviteten på lang sikt, og vi har en klar visjon om å utnytte nye muligheter innenfor teknologi og digitale løsninger.  Vi var på jakt etter en pålitelig og innovativ samarbeidspartner som er like opptatt av bærekraft og sikkerhet som oss.

Ved å ta i bruk en autonom løsning styrker vi konkurranseevnen vår i et tøft globalt marked.»

«Vi er stolte over å kunne presentere en autonom løsning som vil dekke kundenes behov når det gjelder sikkerhet, pålitelighet og lønnsomhet», sier Claes Nilsson, administrerende direktør i Volvo Trucks. De globale transportbehovene er i stadig endring, og bransjen krever nye og avanserte løsninger for å ligge i forkant. Vårt mål er å lede utviklingen av produkter og tjenester for å dekke disse behovene», fortsetter Nilsson.

 «Det er spennende å ha nådd dette punktet, der vi kan presentere autonome løsninger», sier Sasko Cuklev, direktør for autonome løsninger i Volvo Trucks. «Ved å konsentrere oss om et begrenset område og en forhåndsbestemt rute kan vi finne ut hvordan vi kan utnytte løsningen best mulig og skreddersy den til kundenes spesifikke behov. Dette handler om å samarbeide for å utvikle nye løsninger, noe som gir større fleksibilitet og effektivitet så vel som økt produktivitet.»

Avtalen innebærer at kunden kjøper en komplett transporttjeneste og betaler per leverte tonn.

Fakta: Volvo Trucks' første autonome kommersielle løsning 

  • Avtalen omfatter en autonom terminal-til-terminal-løsning for transport av kalkstein ved Brønnøy Kalk i Velfjord i Norge.
  • Samarbeidspartnerne er Brønnøy Kalk AS og Volvo Trucks.
  • De selvkjørende Volvo FH16-lastebilene betjenes utenfra av hjullasteroperatøren.
  • Ruten inkluderer kjøring både i tunneler og utendørs.
