IVECO and Plus announce autonomous trucking pilot in Europe and
China
London, UK and Cupertino, CA, USA, December 20,
2021
IVECO, the commercial vehicles brand of CNH
Industrial (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI), joined Plus (formerly Plus.ai),
a global provider of self-driving truck technology, as their
European partner for the launch of a pilot in Europe and China, to
begin the validation and integration of Plus’s autonomous trucking
technology with IVECO’s latest-generation S-WAY heavy-duty
truck.
This first joint trial will test and demonstrate
the performance of Plus’s integrated system in the IVECO S-WAY
across a wide range of environments and driving conditions. This
level of comprehensive testing, using both the driver-in (i.e.,
with driver on board) PlusDrive solution and Level 4 autonomous
driving technology, will help gather data and validate the design
integral to S-WAY autonomous production.
Marco Liccardo, designated Chief Technology
& Digital Officer of Iveco Group, said: “As the only autonomous
trucking technology company that has already started delivering a
commercial product to customers in the heavy-haulage sector, Plus
has developed a clear and compelling strategy to launch a driver-in
solution first and then a Level 4 autonomous truck. This is in line
with our customer-centric view of a more automated and safe truck
aiming at improving productivity and reducing operating costs.”
“We have always emphasized the need for
expansive testing to validate that an autonomous driving system is
able to handle diverse weather, terrains, and driving scenarios.
This pilot will accelerate our efforts to start production of
autonomous trucks that combine Plus’s production-ready, high
performance, full-stack Level 4 autonomous driving technology with
IVECO’s deep engineering expertise and focus on safety and
sustainability,” said Shawn Kerrigan, COO and Co-founder of
Plus.
