Insights for advanced fleet management, autonomous long-haul driving, and connected electrified last-mile delivery

The commercial vehicle sector is facing challenges in the development of new energy trucks and buses, as well as the necessary infrastructure. Range and weight limitations, along with the readiness of hydrogen fuel cell technology, have created a time gap compared to the car industry. However, advanced fleet management, automated & autonomous driving for long-haul transportation, and connected & electrified last-mile delivery are emerging as key trends in the commercial vehicle industry. Stay informed and prepared for the changing dynamics of the commercial vehicle industry with our insights into advanced fleet management, autonomous driving for long-haul transportation, and connected and electrified last-mile delivery. 

Time gap in development of new energy trucks and buses and infrastructure: Compared to the car industry, the commercial vehicle sector lags in new energy mobility due to range and weight limitations, making it unable to cover most use cases. Additionally, hydrogen fuel cell technology is not yet ready for scale, further delaying its development. 

Advanced fleet management: Fleet management has evolved with the use of digital and smart systems, optimizing maintenance, route planning, and charging/fueling time. Our advanced fleet management solutions can help you enhance professionalism and efficiency in your fleet operations. 

Automated & autonomous driving for long-haul: Long-haul transportation is increasingly focused on optimizing cost per kilometer and maximizing uptime. This has led to the emergence of autonomous driving as a major use case, driving efficiency efforts in long-haul transportation. 

Connected & electrified last-mile delivery: In last-mile delivery, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is higher compared to long-haul transport. This is driven by digitalization and e-commerce, which has embraced multimodal delivery options for efficient curbside management and integrated, cost-effective customer delivery experience. Our connected and electrified last-mile delivery solutions can help you stay ahead in this rapidly evolving landscape.
