Self-driving vehicle for Sweden’s roads


Swedish bearings and seals manufacturer SKF is now testing an autonomous driving electric truck together with tech company Einride. The self-driving vehicle will transport goods on a public road between SKF’s factory and its warehouse in Gothenburg, Sweden.

 

For SKF, autonomous vehicles are nothing new. Today self-driving trucks, known as automated guided vehicles (AGV), are used factories and warehouses. There are also advanced plans to develop a solution for autonomous loading and unloading of these truck, which can carry up to 10 t at a time.

 

However, driving driverless vehicles on public roads requires a special permit from the Swedish Transport Agency, which the two companies plan to apply for together. (ben)
