The sophisticated technology enables round-the-clock operations, while the electric drive-lines means a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and noise levels. A cloud-based service connects each vehicle to a transport control center, which continuously monitors and optimizes the logistics flow. In the near future, Vera will be further developed by Volvo Trucks together with selected customers in prioritized applications.
