Report Description

Europe truck platooning market is expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR during the forecast period, on account of growing adoption of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Truck platooning helps to enhance the fuel efficiency while decreasing pollution. In platooning, trucks are equipped with connectivity technology and automated driving support systems. Moreover, platooning helps to maintain safe distance between trucks, reduce air drag and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Truck platooning market in Europe can be segmented based on platooning type, vehicle type, system and sensor type. Based on platooning type, the market can be segmented into autonomous truck platooning and driver assisted truck platooning. Driver assisted truck platooning is expected to acquire the largest market share during the forecast period, as it helps to reduce the operating cost by 5-10%. On the basis of system, the market can be segmented into adaptive cruise control (ACC), automated emergency braking (AEB), blind spot warning (BSW), forward collision warning (FCW), lane keep assist (LKA) and others. ACC or adaptive cruise control is the essential system for enabling truck platooning, as it uses radar to sense the vehicles in front and adjusts the vehicle speed according to the distance between the trucks in platooning. In terms of sensor, the market can be classified into image, RADAR and LiDAR. Image is the dominant segment in the market, as it is used for the traffic and object detection.

Strict norms pertaining to vehicle safety and technological advancements are expected to have a positive impact on Europe truck platooning market in coming years. In terms of regional analysis, truck platooning market can be bifurcated into Germany, France, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Poland and the Netherlands. Germany and UK are registering huge adoption of truck platooning, owing to strong demand for commercial vehicles and smart mobility.
