Volvo and Aurora Launch Autonomous Truck Route to Oklahoma City<\/b><\/p>\n

Aurora expands freight network and V.A.S. starts operations to customer endpoints<\/i><\/p>\n

OKLAHOMA CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nAurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUR) and Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) today announced the expansion of their autonomous freight network with a new 200-mile route between Dallas and Oklahoma City. The expansion marks a significant milestone as V.A.S. begins hauling freight to customer facilities in Oklahoma City with the Volvo VNL Autonomous integrated with the Aurora Driver.<\/p>\n

Expanding to New Freight Markets<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe Oklahoma City program currently supports trips five days a week in supervised autonomy. By logging hundreds of miles, the Volvo VNL Autonomous integrated with the Aurora Driver supports safer, quicker, and more efficient movement of goods, enabling V.A.S. to provide a premium service.<\/p>\n

\nBy operating directly to customer facilities, V.A.S. can reduce the need for drayage moves and additional handoffs, helping remove complexity from the logistics flow. Customers also benefit from Volvo\u2019s extensive dealer network, robust service support, and proven uptime capabilities, helping them adopt autonomous transport while maintaining efficiency.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cExpanding our operations into Oklahoma City and adding customer endpoints is an important step for scaling autonomous transport,\u201d said Sasko Cuklev, Head of On-Road Solutions at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. \u201cRunning end-to-end requires a higher level of operational precision and integration, and it further demonstrates how autonomous trucks can operate reliably in real logistics environments. Together with Aurora we are focused on expanding our network and accelerating the adoption of this new and exciting technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLeveraging our technology to open new routes quickly and efficiently is a core part of our strategy,\u201d said Ossa Fisher, President of Aurora. \u201cAurora and Volvo are firing on all cylinders and our ability to execute together at scale is clear. As Volvo\u2019s most advanced autonomy partner, we are proud to be the first to deploy the Volvo VNL Autonomous across multiple states.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe launch also highlights the maturity of the Aurora Driver to meet VAS\u2019 customer demand. Within weeks, Aurora mapped the Dallas-to-Oklahoma City interstate route and began autonomous hauls.<\/p>\n

Leading the Industry in Safety and Scale<\/b><\/p>\n

\nVolvo, the global leader in safety innovation, and Aurora, the leader in self-driving truck technology, have combined complementary expertise to deliver autonomous trucks at scale \u2013 setting the standard for integration, reliability, and safety along the way.<\/p>\n
