FPInnovations announces the successful completion of the baseline tests of the truck platooning project

FPInnovations’ truck platooning project aims to accelerate the adoption of the off-highway, automated vehicle technology to support the sustainable development of Northern communities and to address the critical shortage of truck drivers. These improvements could be applied in subsequent development phases of the platooning technology. The trials also aim to bring together numerous businesses and remote communities to assess the positive impact of the platooning project on their environment. FPInnovations will continue its efforts to attract other partners to support the project and make the technology available to future end-users. QuotesThe off-highway platooning technology represents a promising approach for businesses facing the challenges of transportation profitability and labour shortages.
