Novosti Agency indicated that, to date, Russia has launched 67 unmanned trucks on various roads throughout the country, and these trucks have traveled 7.2 million km, and it is expected that the number of unmanned trucks in Russia will reach 100 trucks by the end of this year.

Unlike classic trucks, unmanned trucks do not adhere to the work and rest system, which allows them to work without interruption, which greatly speeds up the transportation process, develops logistical operations, and reduces downtime.
