Executive Summary

The trucking industry has been developing with increased emphasis on productivity, maximum efficiency, and profits. Technological advancements are also supported by environmental regulations and enhanced safety requirements, propelling OEMs to increase R&D investments to develop advanced trucks. Alternative fuels, new materials, virtual reality simulators, advanced aerodynamic designs, improved efficiency engines, stability control systems, virtual dashboards, real-time GPS monitoring, efficient routing software, and tire pressure monitoring are just a few of the rapidly growing technologies in the trucking industry.

Although autonomous trucks have great potential to replace conventional trucks in terms of convenience, the cost of manufacturing, lack of proper infrastructures, inadequate regulations, policies of governments, and the safety of commuters and pedestrians are some factors expected to restrain market growth. Some major factors driving market growth include the expansion of industrial sectors in the emerging market, growing demand from the logistics industry, and rising demand from the construction sector, due to the increasing number of construction activities. The market is expected to grow in the coming years due to improving economies across developing and developed countries.

This report segments the global autonomous trucks market by component, autonomy, propulsion type, truck type, end-use, and region. Some emerging trends in the global autonomous trucks market include increasing investments in R&D by major market players to develop advanced technologies for autonomous vehicles, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Rising focus on developing electric and hybrid autonomous trucks to lower carbon emissions and enhance sustainability can expand the market. Additionally, integrating connectivity and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is gaining traction to improve safety and efficiency. The adoption of autonomous trucks across the logistics and transportation industry is mostly driven by benefits such as reduced labor costs, improved vehicle utilization, and enhanced productivity.

Growing awareness among customers is boosting demand for vehicles with autonomous and advanced safety features. Top OEM suppliers have adopted the strategy of partnering with technology companies to develop ADAS. Tech companies such as Nvidia Corporation have entered this space to provide services to companies such as AB Volvo and Paccar Inc.
