According to MAN, in the long term, the efficient use of autonomous trucks can reduce overall operating costs by ten to 15 per cent. The new technology can also alleviate the driver shortage. There is already a shortage of up to 100,000 truck drivers in Germany alone.

As soon as the pressure drops below the set value, the system automatically tops it up. If too much air has been lost, SAF TIRE PILOT I.Q. sends a notification to the driver’s cab. With this system, SAF-HOLLAND prevents total tire failures, for example in the event of a puncture, and saves fuel.

The solution makes it easier to identify trailers with EBS issues, with a graphical report enabling performance values and trends to be tracked over time.

A new sensor makes it possible to obtain data on the condition of the tires in a very timesaving, simple, and manufacturer-independent manner. This allows them to run optimally adjusted, which leads to greater fuel efficiency and a longer tire life.

"Apart from great overview and endless opportunities to individualise the driver station, our Smart Dash is also the leverage for increased communication and digitalisation in and around the truck," commented Stefan Dorski, Senior Vice President and Head of Scania Trucks.

On the road to series production readiness, the self-driving all-electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz AD (Autonomous Driving) will be hitting the road for the first time over the next few weeks. Volkswagen’s test programme has also launched in parallel in Austin, Texas, USA.

Milence, the joint venture shared by Volvo, Daimler Truck and Traton, aims to deploy at least 1,700 hi-speed charging points by 2027 along the main European freight corridors. The very first hubs are being opened, but there's still a lot of work to do. And no time to lose.

Developers from Mercedes-Benz Trucks successfully charged for the first time a prototype of the eActros 600, which was presented last year, at a charging station with an output of one megawatt at the in-house development and testing center in Wörth am Rhein.

DB Schenker had pre-ordered 1,500 Volta Zero electric trucks before the bankruptcy of Volta Trucks. Now the German logistics group says it is ready to resume testing and "welcome the first serial vehicles as soon as possible." No confirmation from DB Schenker, however, on the size of the possible ne...

Ford passenger cars and vans with line fitted connectivity are ready to connect with the Webfleet service platform, eliminating the need for after-market hardware installations. This integrated solution makes it faster, easier and cheaper for fleet managers to utilise telematics technology.

Based on a modular electronics architecture and accompanied by a range of new safety features, the new Scania digital dashboard, namely Smart Dash, provides "daily digital support for drivers and operators". Furthermore, the new electrical system architecture is compliant with the EU’s new General S...

Algolux software is currently operating on initial Freightliner Cascadia test vehicles in the U.S. and is being included in areas of Torc's software development efforts.

The Road Damage Detection solution identifies road anomalies by analysing anonymised and aggregated data leveraged from connected vehicles. Moreover, the Road Asset Visualisation solution provides intelligence on roads and infrastructure by analysing multiple connected vehicle sensor as well as came...

The SAF TrailerMaster automates the communication between trailer, driver and fleet operator. Fleet managers will be able to keep an eye on the location, load or mileage of the trailer as well as the technical condition of tyres and brakes, for more transparency in everyday transport operations.

Continental and French toll specialist Axxès announced an interesting collaboration aimed at managing toll payment via tachograph, thus making the so-called OBUs (on-board units) superfluous. All this is made possible by exploiting tachograph data and the new plug and play device VDO Link.

The public road testing starts in Germany, and will expand to Austria, Italy, and Switzerland in the coming months. The main objective is to collect as much data as possible to fine-tune the operation of self-driving trucks.

The Canadian company recently unveiled the Waabi Driver, its core autonomous trucking solution, designed for large-scale commercialization and safe deployment. This solution is complemented by Waabi World, a scalable high-quality simulator.

Utilising artificial intelligence technology, Brigade Electronics' Sidescan Predict system constantly gathers information, differentiating between static objects, like road furniture, and moving objects. It also calculates data, such as the speed and distance of a cyclist or pedestrian in the vicini...
