The era of digitized trucking
Transforming the logistics value chain
Due to a combination of new technologies, trucks will start moving down the road guided by a wealth of information from transportation infrastructure and other vehicles, improving utilization through remote maintenance, increasing efficiency, and boosting safety
Logistic system will change
The technological advances will have an equally profound effect on the entire logistics system. Trucks will become even more tightly integrated into the entire logistics chain, with the arrival of shipments to factories, warehouses, and end customers timed precisely, as all the players across the supply chain gain full transparency into the whereabouts of their goods.
New business models
As these digitally enabled, cloud-based solutions come on line, they will rearrange how the logistics business operates, rendering obsolete old business models and enabling new ones. Technology companies will try to enter the market as well, offering their own trucking and logistics platforms — and even, perhaps, their own trucks.
Opportunities and risks
The promise of connected trucks combined with the digital supply chain is huge. But so are the risks for those players that don’t move now to begin building the capabilities and business models needed to win in this new world. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this topic.
