Volley is on a mission to give cities their space back. We design and operate automated robotic parking systems that make buildings denser, greener, and easier to park.
Volley Automation uses advanced software and proven robotic systems to efficiently densify parking garages — making garages smaller, fit more cars, or both. We founded Volley to give that wasted space back to developers, and to make parking something patrons, residents, and drivers never have to think about.
Our zero-emission AGVs move cars into a dense, structured stack while the driver simply walks away. Developers and architects choose Volley because it reduces construction complexity and environmental impact, while maximizing parking access, convenience, and value.
Just park your car and go.
