Tuff Torq expands testing capabilities with new chassis dynamometer facility

Autonomous driving software provider Plus has partnered with Scania, MAN and Navistar of the Traton Group to accelerate the global commercial deployment of Level 4 autonomous trucks.

The companies are to create a Level 4 commercial autonomous transportation solution using ScaniaMAN and Navistar autonomous-ready base vehicles and Plus’s autonomous driving software in hub-to-hub operations.

Trucks of the Traton brands equipped with Plus’s Level 4 autonomous driving solution, SuperDrive, are already being tested on public roads in Europe and the USA with a safety driver on board.

The teams have started testing their autonomous trucks in the busy freight corridor between San Antonio and Dallas in Texas, and plan to expand to other routes in the Texas triangle and I-10 corridor. In Europe, testing is currently taking place on a route between Södertälje and Nyköping in Sweden, and there are plans to conduct pilot operations with customers in other European countries in 2024.

The companies will pilot commercial operations with fleets in 2024 and then begin series production and commercial deployment at scale.

Shawn Kerrigan COO and co-founder at Plus, said, “Together we will accelerate the global commercialization of Level 4 autonomous trucks and bring to market safer and more sustainable transportation solutions.”

Scania’s vice president and head of autonomous solutions, Peter Hafmar, who is leading the coordination of autonomous solutions for the Traton Group, said, “By expanding our autonomous hub-to-hub program, we are taking a leading position in providing autonomous solutions to our customers.”
