Truck Platooning Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Global Truck Platooning Market is expected to exceed the market valuation of more than US$ 500 million in 2027 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of ~45% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The market of truck platooning has evolved significantly in recent years and is witnessing an uptick owing to the surging demand from the stakeholders as this technology reduced fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Various governments have enacted regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. The transportation industry contributes significantly to global pollution, with trucks accounting for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of truck platooning technology in the transportation sector will help to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Platooning can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 16% from the trailing vehicles and by up to 8% from the lead vehicle (according to the recent ITS4CV study by Ertico).

Trucks are the most common vehicle that uses the platooning system, as in the research trials on public highways, they have shown substantial fuel savings, with the leading truck achieving 4-5% fuel efficiency and the trailing trucks achieving around 7-10%. Truck platooning can make road transportation safer, cleaner, and more effective, allowing goods to be delivered faster and reducing traffic congestion. Recent research from transport data company INRIX into the state of congestion in 200 cities in 38 countries highlights the impact of traffic congestion. It found the total cost of lost productivity caused by congestion to be US$ 87 billion in the United States.

Further, with conventional trucks, critical risk factors are driver reaction time and concentration. Indeed, human error is to blame for 90% of all traffic incidents. As per WHO statistics, Road traffic accidents claim the lives of about 1.35 million people per year. The majority of countries lose 3% of their GDP due to traffic accidents. Truck platooning helps improve safety. When opposed to human braking, connected driving allows for automatic braking with virtually no reaction time. Platooning increases the safety of other road users by allowing trucks to drive more predictably on the road.

Road deaths per million inhabitants – preliminary data for 2019

Peloton Technology, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, AB Volvo, Continental AG, Daimler AG, BorgWarner Inc., Wabco, DAF Trucks, Scania AB, and Aptiv are some of the prominent players operating in the global truck platooning market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
