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...

The first issue of Sustainable Truck&Van magazine 2024 will be released in April through our website and social media channels and distributed from May 20 to 23 at ACT Expo, Las Vegas. The second issue will be out in September and distributed at IAA Transportation, Hannover.

By third quarter 2023, manufacturers in Europe will be required to install next generation smart tachographs in new vehicles and, by the end of 2024, they will replace analog tachographs altogether.

The driverless tow tractor delivered vehicle components in the outside areas of its Kawasaki, Japan plant. The verification took place for a total of six days. Assuming the delivery of vehicle engines, TractEasy covered a distance of approximately 900 meters from the engine manufacturing building to...

A key component of the Krone 360° Trailer Service is the new digital strategy 'Krone Intelligent Transport Solutions' (KITS). These include data management, telematics products and increasingly digitalised service components. The Krone 360° Trailer Service starts as soon as the vehicle is delivered,...

The idea that lays behind the system is rather clear. Providing fleet managers, with a single source of data, all the information they need to retain drivers, reduce risk, and boost productivity. “We provide solutions directly to the industry – told us Mark Tiana – looking at the whole lifecycle of ...

The result of the agreement enables transport companies that use telematics systems from trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull and services from equipment service provider TIP Trailer Services to decide freely in which system the data should be displayed.

TX-TRAILERPULSE is a trailer-focused IoT connectivity solution which helps reduce fleets’ TCO and enables fleet-wide deployment across all trailer types. Under the agreement, DSV will be furnished with TX-TRAILERPULSE units complete with an integrated rechargeable battery for added flexibility.

Torc is making significant steps towards commercializing SAE Level 4 autonomous trucks in the U.S. for long-haul hub-to-hub applications within this decade. Also, as of October 1st, 2022, Peter Vaughan Schmidt served as the new CEO of Torc.

At the Global Technology Days held on July 19 and 20 at the Jeversen test track, not far from Hanover, we were able to experience firsthand what ZF means by mobility of the future. A glimpse of all this will be on display at IAA 2022.

With the first public drive of the autonomous truck driving system on the MAN test track in Munich, the partners of the project presented what has been achieved so far and announced intensive practical and development drives at the container depot of DB Intermodal Services and the DUSS terminal in U...

The platform will facilitate smooth interaction between a variety of services and data, enabling transportation and logistics companies to benefit much more from the opportunities of digitalization without having to set up their own resource- and cost-intensive IT projects.
