The new mode of traffic technology of truck platooning on U.S. Highways could be incredibly beneficial, but also comes with its challenges.
Locomation's Autonomous Relay Convoy system can dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas footprint, fuel consumption, and operating costs of transporting goods by truck, according to a recent report.
Locomation says its agreement with mega-dealer Rush will help drive adoption of human-guided autonomous truck convoying.
Locomation recently tested its automated platooning technology in a project with government and turnpike officials to make a delivery run from Pennsylvania to Michigan.
After a successful pilot program of an automated truck convoy technology, Wilson Logistics has struck a deal with Locomation to equip more than 1,100 tractors with the technology starting in 2022.
Locomation and Wilson Logistics partnered on an eight-day pilot project for the autonomous convoy concept, which saw 14 commercial loads successfully transported from Portland, Oregon, to Nampa, Idaho.
Locomation will test at the Transportation Research Center to advance its autonomous truck-platooning platforms alongside TRC’s research and development team.
Locomation’s autonomous convoy technology will begin work on Wilson Logistics’ existing freight routes to drive gains in asset utilization, sustainability, safety, and driver performance.
Royal Truck and Equipment develops autonomous platooning technology for vocational and municipal applications such as sweepers, water trucks, line stripers, or maintenance trucks.
