IVECO has successfully completed the testing of its pioneering technology with Plus, an AI-first autonomous trucking software company, DSV and dm. A multi-month project to test semi-autonomous trucks jointly developed by IVECO and Plus was concluded with a real-world test. The project results demonstrated the key benefits of autonomous trucking technology — improved safety, efficiency and fuel economy.

The partners recently completed the testing of an IVECO heavy-duty truck integrating Plus’s semi-autonomous driver assistance solution in Krefeld, Germany. It was the first road test of this technology in Germany. After several months of extensive testing and validation of the technology and driver training, the semi-autonomous solution was ready for public road testing. Goods were delivered under real-world conditions on the route between two warehouses in Krefeld and Hennef.

“This successful demonstration marks a further key step in our journey toward the commercialization of highly automated driving technologies in the logistics sector. Through this collaborative pilot, we were able to validate the capabilities of our advanced driver assistance system in real-world operations, confirming improvements in safety, fuel efficiency, and overall driving performance. These results reinforce our belief that automation will not replace the driver, but will elevate their role by reducing fatigue, supporting complex maneuvers, and creating a safer, more productive working environment. At Iveco Group, we believe that the future of logistics lies in smart, sustainable, and human-centric innovation. Working alongside our trusted partners DSV, dm and Plus, we remain committed to developing intelligent transport solutions that meet the growing demands of efficiency, sustainability, and driver well-being across Europe and beyond.” explains Marco Liccardo, Chief Technology & Digital Officer, Iveco Group
