Volvo has teamed up with the logistics firm DFDS to transport goods between a logistics centre and a port in Norway using autonomous vehicles . The project will involve Volvo 's cab - free concept vehicle , Vera , which was unveiled in September . The lorries , which will be monitored by a remote operator in a control room , will travel on a designated public route at a maximum speed of 25 mph . “Now we have the opportunity to implement Vera in an ideal setting and further develop [its] potential for other similar operations,” added Mikael Karlsson, VP of autonomous solutions at Volvo Trucks. Vera is designed for short , repetitive journeys between the same locations rather than long - haul journeys .
