無駕駛室自動貨車
Voltempo 的自動駕駛電動貨車最大化載貨空間
英國電動車專門公司 Voltempo 正研發一款無駕駛室的自動剛性貨車，旨在提升載貨量之餘減輕車輛重量。原型車長 15.6 米，配備五條車軸，載重量達 42 噸。取消傳統駕駛室可減少約兩噸重量，令車輛可多載 15% 貨物體積，額外可用載重量達五至七噸。Voltempo 並非改裝傳統柴油貨車，而是專門圍繞自動化、零排放運作原則研發這款車輛。
車身製造由 Berkeley Coachworks 負責，電動傳動系統則由一家主要商用車製造商供應。初期應用預計包括樞紐至樞紐的高速公路路線，以及港口與物流中心之間的短程聯運行程，這類路線具備可預測性，有助支援持續運作。首部原型車預計於 2027 年 9 月完成，其後將於同年稍後在南威爾斯一條專用測試賽道進行測試。
英文原文
UK electric vehicle specialist Voltempo is engineering a cabless autonomous rigid lorry designed to increase cargo capacity while reducing vehicle weight. The prototype measures 15.6 meters long, uses five axles, and has a 42-tonne capacity. Removing the traditional driver’s cab eliminates roughly two tonnes of weight and allows the vehicle to carry 15 percent more cargo volume, with five to seven tonnes of additional usable payload. Rather than adapting a conventional diesel truck, Voltempo is developing the vehicle specifically around autonomous, zero-emission operation.
The physical construction is being handled by Berkeley Coachworks, with a major commercial vehicle manufacturer supplying the electric drivetrain. Initial applications are expected to include hub-to-hub motorway routes and short intermodal journeys between ports and logistics centres, where predictable routes could support continuous operation. The first build is scheduled for completion by September 2027, followed by prototype testing at a dedicated track in South Wales later that year.c
