Truck Platooning Market Trends

Growing Technological Advancements in Truck Platooning are driving the market growth.

There is an increase in demand for more fuel-efficient and safer vehicles, so automobile manufacturers are heavily investing in the latest vehicle technologies. Truck platooning is an advanced technology that automobile manufacturers use to make trucks more efficient and safer. Some advanced features deployed in Truck platooning include adaptive cruise control, forward collision avoidance, mitigation system, lane departure warning, and active braking systems. All these features, if availed in the trucks, are expected to enable them to enter the semi-autonomous level of driving and reduce the probability of human error accidents during their transit. Other developed infrastructure systems involved in Truck platooning, including vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and satellite communications (GPS), have ensured secure connectivity between vehicles and other information networks, where freight fleet operators can smoothly monitor the transportation administrations.

Additionally, many leading companies such as Peloton, Scania, and others are working on Truck platooning Technology to increase the level of fuel consumption. The platooning trucks follow the leading trucks with a very short distance in between, which reduces the air resistance for the following trucks and results in less fuel consumption. For instance, Scania AB, a truck manufacturer, has been testing truck convoys using Truck platooning Technology with a focus on solving significantly reducing the fuel consumption for the transportation industry. Thus, a reduction in fuel consumption due to the adoption of Truck platooning Technology boosts the Truck Platooning market revenue and increases government regulations for transportation sector emissions and lower fuel usage. Furthermore, the Truck platooning business is growing due to favorable government platooning rules.

Truck Platooning Industry Developments

March 2022 Electronic handshakes have linked two Peterbilt trucks to establish tight following distances for platooning trials in Alberta, Canada. In other research by Auburn University and FP Innovations, platoons have been seen on Quebec highways and logging roads. While the platoon's lead Truck is in charge of acceleration and braking, the vehicle behind it is controlled semi-autonomously.

March 2022 IVECO contributed to developing and implementing a multi-brand platooning technology agreed upon by all major European truck manufacturers. The EU-funded 46-month project demonstrated that platooning could be critical in achieving sustainable transportation. Platooning improves fuel economy, CO2 emissions, road safety, and traffic efficiency.
