Autonomous trucks cover about 250,000 kilometers per week on federal highways in Russia. This data was provided by Alexey Raykevich, CEO of JSC GLONASS.
100 unmanned trucks currently operating on the M-11 "Neva", M-4 "Don", CKAD and M-12 "Vostok" highways are connected to a unified identification system based on ERA-GLONASS. The platform collects telematics data from on-board controllers: coordinates, speed, system status, and mileage. Information is sent to servers in real time, allowing the movement of each vehicle to be tracked without dispatcher involvement.
The public accident-free mileage counter, launched by GLONASS and the Ministry of Transport in November 2025, has already recorded 17 million kilometers. The system's algorithms automatically exclude sections with abnormal situations from statistics, taking into account only regular trips.
Recently, the Russian government approved the concept for the development of the unmanned freight transportation market until 2035. According to the document, by the end of the decade, the share of autonomous trucks in road freight turnover could reach 19%, and their fleet could grow to 57 thousand units.
