Description In partnership with FedEx and the North Carolina Turnpike Association, Volvo Trucks performed an on-highway demonstration of a three-truck platoon on N.C. 540. During the testing even, information was shared from the lead vehicle via wireless vehicle to vehicle technology allowing the trailing vehicles to instantly respond to changing conditions. Volvo will conduct more testing events on N.C. 540 as they continue to develop platooning technology.
