Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) and Danfoss, a market leader in components and software for automation, have entered into an agreement to collaborate on technology for autonomous vehicles.

Danfoss products have long provided critical links from ASI's software and processors to vehicle control systems and hardware via electrical, network, and hydraulic interfaces. The PLUS+1® platform has been particularly useful to ASI in automating vehicles for agriculture, mining, construction, and material handling applications.

Mel Torrie, President and CEO of ASI, says, "ASI has been using the best-in-class Danfoss components over the last 20 years to support our driverless vehicle development with the world's leading vehicle OEMs. This new partnership will ensure manufacturers have the needed support to streamline their efforts in making autonomous industrial vehicles a mainstream reality."

ASI looks forward to working with Danfoss to bring exciting new capabilities to a broader market and a wider range of applications, with world-class support for innovative new offerings. As the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology expands, more potential customers are seeing ways for automation to improve their products and services. This partnership will enable ASI and Danfoss to provide the building blocks for all kinds of implementations not viable in the past.

"This partnership demonstrates our ambition to invest in autonomy and be the innovative partner for our customers. It's a promising partnership and we are excited about the potential in vehicle automation," says Kim Fausing, President and CEO of Danfoss.
