Trucks and Platooning
V2X Communication for Trucks and Platooning
V2X improves saftey and fuel efficiency in platooned trucks
Trucks around the world travel great distance and their drivers spend long hours on the road. V2X both improves safety and reduces costs for trucks hauling loads and traversing our roads.
Using V2X for truck communitication enables the trucks to drive together in a convoy. This scheme, widely known as platooning, has many benefits:
Drivers of a follower truck can rest.
Aerodynamic formation can save up to 12% in fuel consumption. V2X 2 is essential in order to set the truck’s speed.
Furthmore, V2X allows trucks to communicate with other trucks, cars, motorcycle and infrastructure for enhanced road safety.
