The truck platooning systems market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing number of commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles, primarily used for business purposes rather than personal transportation, are on the rise due to factors such as economic expansion, shifts in consumer behavior, and changes in global trade and transportation dynamics. Truck platooning systems enhance the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of commercial vehicles, making them an appealing choice for fleet operators seeking to optimize their operations. For example, in January 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reported a significant increase in European Union bus registrations, which soared by 19.4% to 32,593 units in 2023, while new truck registrations rose by 16.3% to 346,986 units compared to 2022. This trend underscores how the growing number of commercial vehicles is fueling the expansion of the truck platooning systems market.

Major companies in the truck platooning systems market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions, such as connected truck platforms, to facilitate seamless communication and coordination between trucks in a platoon. A connected truck platform is a technological solution that integrates various aspects of a truck’s operations, including telematics, software applications, real-time vehicle data, and third-party applications, to create a unified and customizable fleet management platform. For example, in April 2024, DAF Trucks, a Netherlands-based truck manufacturer, introduced the PACCAR Connect fleet management platform. PACCAR Connect stands out with its comprehensive system, which includes hardware and software integrated into the truck, an optional detachable tablet in the cab, and an online portal that is compatible with nearly any fixed or mobile device. This innovative platform provides real-time insights into individual vehicle and fleet performance, logistical operations, and driver performance, enabling operators to optimize returns. Users can monitor truck and fleet performance 24/7 online or receive email reports through the ‘Report Scheduler’ feature, with customizable route and fuel reports displayed on the dashboard. To further boost efficiency, PACCAR Connect utilizes geofencing technology to alert the base when a truck nears a delivery location or resumes operation after maintenance.

In September 2022, DB Schenker, a Germany-based provider of freight management and contract logistics services, completed the acquisition of USA Truck Inc. for $435 million. This strategic move is aimed at advancing the shared vision of DB Schenker and USA Truck to become the premier North American transportation solutions provider. By combining their operations, the companies seek to enhance their global logistics services across land, air, and ocean transportation, as well as comprehensive solutions for logistics and global supply chain management.

Truck platooning systems represent an advanced transportation mode wherein a convoy of trucks operates closely together, employing sophisticated communication and control systems to maintain a tight formation. These systems deliver several benefits, including reduced fuel consumption owing to improved aerodynamics, increased highway capacity by minimizing the distance between vehicles, and enhanced safety through coordinated braking and collision avoidance mechanisms.

The primary components of truck platooning systems include a forward-looking camera, a real-time system display with a rear-view camera, and a driver-centric design. A forward-looking camera typically refers to a camera system installed at the front of a vehicle, be it a car, truck, or autonomous vehicle. It finds application across various vehicle types, including light commercial and heavy commercial vehicles, employing diverse technologies such as acceleration and braking controllers, global positioning systems, cellular and Wi-Fi communication, and DSRS vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
