Ever smarter transport
Road transport covers almost 75 percent of all transport of goods in Europe. This means that some 85 kg of goods are transported by truck for every European. Each and every day!
In other words: all those trucks on the roads are indispensable. We wouldn’t do without them, because modern trucks feature high payloads, low costs per kilometre, a long service life and a high reliability. In the past 20 years truck technology has improved tremendously. The total emission of noxious matter of twenty of today’s trucks is lower than that of one truck from the year 2000.
- But there are still plenty of challenges. How can the fuel consumption and the emission of CO2 be reduced even further?
- How can a truck - in terms of cab, cargo-space and number of axles - be composed even smarter?
- Which technologies can be developed to reduce traffic jams and the number of accidents?
Our road transport is rapidly changing because of new technologies and different vehicle concepts, driven by new forms of energy: hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, hydrogen driven vehicles a.s.o.
