Autonomous or remotely controlled

Autonomous and remotely controlled units allow for you to act effectively in dangerous areas, keeping your troops and personnel out of harm’s way. Volvo Group are active in, and at the forefront of the development of fully-automated self-driving vehicles. Building on developments like the machine learning processes that drive platooning in vehicles, automation is set to play an even bigger part in transportation and logistics across the board in the coming decades. And from a defense standpoint, it’s a topic of particular interest – particularly when it comes to unmanned and remote-controlled vehicles.

The Volvo Group has long been working on autonomous vehicles and the results are now making their way out onto the market. This ranges from a new electric autonomous compact hauler concept, to the remote-controlled equipment you’ll already find in the Volvo Defense range.

Electromobility

To be able to move and redeploy your resources is the primary purpose of military logistics. And to be able to do it with minimal sound and a low heat profile is especially important for maintaining the initiative and freedom to operate in your mission. Electromobility is one way to achieve that. And it’s one that Volvo Group has made a key area of development – our all-electric truck was launched back in 2018.

Electric alternatives are available across our whole range: from Engineering and Construction Equipment, through Volvo Penta and Volvo Buses. All parts of the Volvo Defense portfolio can include electric alternatives available in their offering. What’s more, Volvo Group are also concerned with making electric power for equipment more sustainable, too.

Monitor performance, know your exact location, interact with other equipment, and track usage.
