THE LONG ROAD TO AUTONOMOUS COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

Saving potential of up to 50 percent: automated trucks and buses will also revolutionise the efficiency of mobility and logistics. This will create new sales opportunities for manufacturers bringing commercial vehicle automation technologies to the market. But there are still high hurdles.

Platoon with Potential

Platooning involves two or more equally spaced trucks driving on the motorway – in a convoy threaded like pearls on a necklace. DB Schenker, MAN and Fresenius University of Applied Sciences have now tested the autonomous convoys under real conditions. Five experts identify the major benefits.
