Major trends in the forecast period include predictive maintenance solutions, enhanced telematics and fleet management, integration of IoT sensors, eco-friendly solutions, driver assistance systems.

The increasing average fuel efficiency is expected to boost the growth of the connected trucks market in the future. Fuel-efficient vehicles are characterized by the distance they can travel per unit of fuel consumed. Connected trucks contribute to fuel efficiency by optimizing routes and minimizing traffic delays, which helps reduce fuel consumption and enhance overall efficiency. For instance, in December 2023, reports from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a U.S. governmental agency, indicated that most vehicle categories reached their highest fuel economy levels ever, with sport utility vehicles experiencing a 2.4 mpg improvement in the 2022 model year. Thus, the rise in average fuel efficiency is driving the expansion of the connected trucks market.

The upsurge in digitalization is expected to drive the growth of the connected truck market in the foreseeable future. Digitalization involves leveraging digital technologies to transform business models and create new sources of revenue and value. Connected trucks are integral to the digital transformation of the transportation industry, providing real-time data and insights to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability through improved communication between trucks. In November 2022, a report by Zippia revealed that globally, 70% of organizations have adopted digitalization strategies, with 56% of CEOs acknowledging enhanced profits due to digital improvements. This escalating trend in digitalization is a significant factor fueling the expansion of the connected trucks market.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction within the connected truck market. Key industry players are actively embracing new technologies to fortify their market positions. A noteworthy example is Volvo Trucks North America, a US-based truck company, which, in March 2023, introduced the Connected Vehicle Analytics (CVA) tool. This tool collects real-time data from fleet operations, encompassing details such as truck configurations, daily routes, average speed, and fuel consumption. The CVA tool empowers dealers to monitor fleet utilization, identify opportunities for optimization, and enhance efficiency and productivity. Volvo Trucks' CVA tool provides quantitative insights into a customer's fleet performance, aiding in informed decision-making when considering updates or adjustments to truck specifications.

Major players in the connected truck sector are actively pursuing collaboration and partnerships to deliver reliable services to their customers. A strategic partnership, characterized by structured affiliations through business agreements or contracts, is a key focus. PACCAR Inc., a US-based manufacturer of large commercial trucks, exemplified this approach in January 2023 by partnering with Platform Science, a US-based provider of telematics and fleet management tools. This collaboration integrates Platform Science's Virtual Vehicle technology with the PACCAR Connect telematics system, offering standardized telematics operating systems and an application store. This integration allows trucks to access software solutions, real-time vehicle data, and third-party applications directly.

In March 2022, Einride, a technology company based in Sweden, formed a partnership with A.P. Moller-Maersk. This collaboration aims to incorporate autonomous electric vehicles into Maersk's logistics network, promoting sustainable transportation and lowering carbon emissions in freight operations. A.P. Moller-Maersk, a logistics company located in Denmark, specializes in shipping and logistics, including innovations related to connected trucks.

A connected truck refers to a commercial vehicle equipped with advanced connected vehicle technology that enables communication with other vehicles, devices, and systems in its environment. This technology facilitates real-time communication of the truck's location with nearby vehicles and infrastructure, triggering automated responses to enhance the driving experience and overall safety.

Connected trucks come in two main types, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles. LCVs are generally smaller and lighter than heavy commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses. They are commonly used for various commercial purposes, including delivery vehicles, passenger vans, and small business utility vehicles. The communication ranges in connected trucks are achieved through dedicated short-range and long-range or cellular networks, forming different communication channels such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-cloud (V2C), and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). These connected features find applications in various areas, including driver assistance, safety, entertainment, well-being, vehicle management, and mobility management.
