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.

The system operates on 12V, utilizing the vehicle’s battery rather than engine and does not require a roof-mounted structure. Its powerful electric compressor does not require mechanical construction. According to Dometic, this technology is currently the only to offer a way to install cooling syste...

DeepWay and Pininfarina dedicated great attention to the interior space creating an intelligent living cabin, a sort of a second “home” for long-haul truck drivers. DeepWay Xingtu’s new generation of smart cabin adopts the concept of separate driving, working and living spaces, giving more room to t...

Thanks to HERE Navigation, the drivers of the Volta Zero trucks will be able to use innovative geolocation technology, what3words. The latter is a simple way to identify a location in a manner that is more precise than a street address.

The comprehensive solutions is conceived to reduce maintenance costs, minimize emissions and drive down total cost of ownership and help ease this transition by delivering intuitive software and commercial hardware infrastructure to support charging and energy management.

IVECO has reached an agreement with the Californian e company Plus for the launch of a pilot in Europe and China, with the aim of validating and integrate Plus's autonomous trucking technology with the latest generation of the iconic IVECO S-WAY heavy-duty truck.

The concept vehicle is 3.4 m in length with front-wheel-steer, rear-wheel-drive and has a 2-tonne gross vehicle weight rating and some additional specifications, such as X-by-wire REEcorner technology for drive, steer and brake control, easy cargo accessibility or 50 kWh battery capacity.
