Platooning

Platooning refers to the practice of grouping vehicles, especially trucks, to travel closely together in a coordinated manner. This setup utilizes advanced technology, like automated driving systems, to maintain a safe distance and synchronize speed. By traveling in a tight formation, platooning enhances fuel efficiency, reduces air drag, and increases road capacity. It also improves safety, as vehicle movements are synchronized, reducing the chances of accidents. Platooning is seen as a step towards more efficient and sustainable transportation systems, particularly in logistics and freight movement.
