Volvo FH Autonomous Truck Fleet Now Hauling All Production for Brønnøy Kalk
Volvo Autonomous Solutions has expanded its Autona/earth platform at Norway's Brønnøy Kalk limestone mine to run three shifts, allowing a fleet of nine Volvo FH autonomous trucks to handle the entire five‑kilometre haul route around the clock. The trucks, equipped with LiDAR, radar and high‑resolution cameras, operate without a safety driver and have already moved one million tonnes autonomously, targeting two million tonnes soon. Operational refinements such as a hot‑seat wheel‑loader and a Formula‑1‑style refuelling lane have reduced idle time, while the Transport‑as‑a‑Service model bundles hardware, infrastructure and support. This full‑shift deployment marks a transition from pilot projects to continuous production in autonomous mining haulage.
