"The logistics industry is currently facing challenges from multiple sides: on the one hand, the demand for logistics is steadily increasing due to e-commerce and globalization, but on the other hand, there is a lack of skilled workers in the form of truck drivers who can handle this demand. In Europe alone, over 380,000 truck driver job postings were unfilled in 2021. This significant shortage is exacerbated by increasing labor expenses, which aggravate the cost pressure already caused by rising fuel prices. Moreover, the climate crisis calls for sustainable processes that can be carried out in a carbon-neutral and resource-conserving manner. Two technological leaps can help to address those challenges. The first—the electrification of trucks, driven by lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and sustainability demands—is already taking place. The subsequent leap—autonomous trucking—is expected to take off in the second half of this decade and is key to solving the massive driver shortage, increasing safety, and enabling further operational savings. This paper examines the autonomous logistics hub of the future, which is a critical link in enabling sustainable, autonomous trucking." Eike Gernant Benjamin Vieth Benedikt Roßmann

Friends and colleagues, I believe we must take a keen analytical eye to the state of Trucking Transportation in our current economy. It's fascinating, when you break it down philosophically, to study how societies have evolved trade methods since primitive times. - From primitive bartering to digitized trade - From mules and carts, all the way to 18-wheelers and planes - It's the art of transfer that creates the marvel of economics Despite the invention of air and rail freights, the trucking industry still stands as the backbone of US commerce. 🚚 The importance of trucking cannot be underscored in an economy such as ours where getting goods across vast landscapes is both a necessity and a challenge. Numbers tell a story: - Trucks moved 72.5% of all freight transported in the US in 2019 and generated $791.7 billion in gross freight revenues. - There are 15.5 million trucks operating in the U.S., with 2 million tractor-trailers. - The American trucking industry employs over 7 million people. Success in trucking doesn't just come down to the number of trucks on the highway. It's about the efficiency of their routes, minimizing downtime, maximizing capacity, and finding the right balance - a metaphorically beautiful balancing act. We dive into the use of data analysis and technology: - Trucking companies are using predictive analytics to optimize route and fuel efficiency. - The introduction of autonomous technology may revolutionize the industry, negating driver shortages and mitigating human error. - Digitized freight brokerage reduces time spent on mundane tasks, increasing the efficiency of the whole process. Challenges persist: - There's a steep cost to maintain, fuel, and operate these trucks. - The toll it takes on the environment is considerable. But as with any challenges, they invite innovation. The key to future-proofing the industry lies in efficient trucks - electric engines, autonomous vehicles - coupled with digital supply chain management systems and optimized freight brokerage. As we shift our gears to a technologically-infused commerce model, trucking transportation must also evolve to keep pace. Let's keep on trucking and remember - the journey becomes worthwhile through the value and efficiency added during each milestone along the way. 🛣️ #trucking #transportation #analysis #innovation #data #efficiency

Renault Trucks electrifies its in-house logistics 🚛 As a key player in the decarbonisation of transport, Renault Trucks is pressing ahead with its initiatives by electrifying its in-house logistics flows. The first stage of this project involves the electrification of axle transport between its Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse plants. The 450,000 km driven each year between the two production sites will be handled by Dupessey & Co and Transports Chazot using five 44 t Renault Truck E-Tech T electric vehicles. “Applying here at Renault Trucks the solutions we offer our customers.” This is how Renault Trucks could sum up its approach to the electrification of logistics, which has been up and running for a few days now. Thanks to the launch of the electric 44-tonne truck, which marks a real step forward in inter-regional and mid- distance e-distribution, the French manufacturer has decided to switch to Renault Trucks E-Tech T 4×2 tractors for the supply of goods to the Bourg-en-Bresse plant. In practical terms, two partner hauliers have been chosen to carry out this task over the next six years, namely the Dupessey&Co group and Transports Chazot. Five electric trucks, each loaded with 22 tonnes of equipment, will make two round trips a day (360 km) to deliver the axles, manufactured at the Lyon site, to the Bourg-en-Bresse plant, where the heavy duty trucks are assembled. Depending on the flow of goods, the number of deliveries can be increased, with up to seven trucks on the road in a single day. The trucks will require an interim charge of 45-50 minutes once a day at the Lyon site, where a charging station has been set up specifically for this purpose. The vehicles will also be charged every evening at the depots of the two hauliers...
