The new system uses LiDAR that can detect small objects “approximately two football fields ahead in day or night, and even at highway speed,” according to Volvo. Deliveries of the EX90 will start in the first half of 2024.
“Today’s event was extremely well received,” said Tracy Herman, senior manager, commercial fleet at Volvo Car USA. “It was a great opportunity for professionals across the fleet industry to visit our headquarters and meet our people! Everyone enjoyed learning about our products — present and future — and about our commitment to grow Volvo’s commercial business.”
