Volvo launches virtual fence technology to limit truck speed

▤ Summary

Volvo has launched Safety Zones in Brazil, a connected service that lets fleet managers remotely set speed limits for trucks in defined geofenced areas. The system uses GPS and an app to enforce lower speeds automatically, reducing the need for driver intervention. Volvo says the feature is designed for ports, logistics hubs, mining areas, and other high-risk environments. The company also says the same technology already cut collisions by 50% in monitored urban bus operations. This move expands Volvo's connected fleet software and creates a practical safety and compliance tool for commercial operators.
