European Commission's Platooning pilot

The European Commission's Platooning pilot is an initiative to develop and test connected truck convoys that travel closely together using automated driving technology. By linking trucks with sensors and communication systems, they can act as a coordinated group, reducing air resistance and fuel consumption. This project aims to improve road safety, cut emissions, and increase transport efficiency across Europe. The pilot involves collaborations with manufacturers and regulators to ensure the technology is safe, reliable, and ready for wider adoption, ultimately contributing to smarter, greener freight transportation.
