Key customers include Brønnøy Kalk in Norway and Boliden\nGarpenberg in Sweden. The first autonomous hauling for Brønnøy Kalk started\nin 2023, with a milestone of 1 million tonnes hauled autonomously reached in\n2025. In this Norwegian quarry, V.A.S. handles the flow of material from a\nquarry to a crusher with nine autonomous trucks on a five-kilometer route\nthrough long tunnels with steep inclines. In Boliden's Garpenberg mine in\nSweden, autonomous trucks were hauling material from a quarry to a dynamic\nunloading area as part of a dam reinforcement project.\n\n\"Reaching three million tonnes hauled autonomously is an important milestone\nthat demonstrates the maturity of our autonomous transport solution and the\nvalue it delivers in customer operations. This achievement reflects years of\nclose collaboration between the Volvo Autonomous Solutions team and our\ncustomers to develop, deploy and scale autonomous hauling in real-world\nenvironments,\" says Ingo Stürmer, CTO at V.A.S.\n\nA complete solution for autonomous hauling, factory-assembled\n\nThe transport provided to V.A.S.' mining and quarrying customers is Volvo's\ntransport-as-a-service solution for confined areas, Autona / earth. The\nsolution includes autonomy-enabled trucks integrated with the Volvo Virtual\nDriver, infrastructure, operations, uptime services and fleet management,\nenabling customers to implement autonomy without handling the technical\ncomplexities and without major equipment investment.
