Volvo Autonomous Solutions Targets Fully Driverless Long-Haul Operations by Early 2027

Volvo Autonomous Solutions plans to launch fully driverless operations on U.S. highways in the first quarter of 2027. The company projects that one in 10 long-haul heavy-duty trucks will be driverless within the next decade. Other autonomous trucking companies are advancing cabless and electric vehicle platforms. Industry drivers include driver shortages, operational efficiency gains, and economic pressures on carriers. Regulatory approval and infrastructure readiness remain critical as companies prepare for scaled deployments. This transition could reshape labor markets and operational models in freight transportation.
