Since then, innovations in Automation have made this lofty ambition a distinct possibility in the near term. In fact, the United Nations recently <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-10\/Transportation%20Report%202021_FullReport_Digital.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted<\/a> the significant impact Autonomous Vehicles and truck platooning will have on the environment and global sustainability initiatives.

It has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osti.gov\/etdeweb\/biblio\/22122329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated<\/a> vehicles account for 20% of the world\u2019s total carbon emissions, with a quarter of this being attributed to heavy duty vehicles (HDVs). Reducing energy consumption might be an obvious avenue to pursue for fleet operators, if only it could be done in a way that wouldn\u2019t undercut competitiveness. Well, today, achieving commercial growth and giving genuine expression to a solid sustainability agenda doesn\u2019t have to be a zero-sum game, and a full industry embrace of smart truck platooning can enable serious efficiency gains while cutting CO2 emissions.<\/p><p>In essence, smart truck platooning is a form of automated carpooling for large trucks and lorries. One human-driven truck would lead the convoy, with autonomously driven lorries following suit, maintaining a predetermined and close distance between each other \u2014 unlocking the benefits of the slipstream effect. By leveraging connectivity technology and autonomous driving support systems, vehicles can adapt to changes in the movement of the convoy leaders, ensuring streamlined transportation and minimum disruption.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/erticonetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ITS4CV-Report-final-2016-09-09.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research<\/a> indicates that smart truck platooning could deliver a 16% reduction in CO2 emissions, and when these sustainability initiatives can yield tangible cost savings for logistics operators, the case for smart truck platooning becomes iron-clad.
