Volvo's fully automated trucks are the world's first trucks to conduct deep mine operations testing. The Volvo Group is developing a development to increase the flow and safety of the mine, including self-driving trucks for mines. During the test, the truck traveled 7 km in a 1,320-meter-deep narrow mine roadway in the Kristineberg mine in Sweden.

“This is the first fully automated truck in the world to be used under such harsh conditions. This is a real challenge, and it needs to be ensured that everything is going well below the depth of 1,300 meters.” Volvo Group Executive Committee member Volvo Group Chief Technology Officer Tobion Holmstrom said.

Currently, the Volvo Group has released a video introducing self-driving trucks to showcase the business opportunities that the product can bring. In the Kristenenberg mine, 100 km from the city of Alves in northern Sweden, the operating conditions in the mine are very poor. To see how safe the truck is, Tobion Holmstrom also took part in the filming. When the truck was driving forward, he stood without hesitation in the middle of the roadway. He said: "No matter what type of vehicle we develop, safety is always our biggest concern. Autopilot trucks are no exception. I believe the truck will stop, but I feel a little nervous before the truck stops."

The fully automated truck is a Volvo FMX truck with a special configuration. The truck uses a variety of sensors to continuously monitor the surrounding conditions and avoid hitting any fixed or moving objects. When the truck is driving, the onboard transport system collects data to optimize and coordinate the route and fuel consumption. This is also the first time the truck has been field tested.
