European Vehicle Platooning Challenge

The European Vehicle Platooning Challenge was a coordinated effort across European countries to demonstrate how groups of trucks can automatically travel together in a tightly coordinated "platoon." Using advanced communication and driver-assist systems, these trucks synchronize speed and braking, reducing air resistance, fuel consumption, and emissions. This collaboration aimed to showcase innovative, safer, and more efficient freight transport technology, paving the way for wider adoption of automated driving systems in commercial logistics across Europe.
