Volvo Group Venture Capital berinvestasi di Trucksters yang berkantor pusat di Madrid, yang menggunakan data besar dan kecerdasan buatan dalam sistem relai yang membuat truk jarak jauh terus bergerak. Dan hal ini berpotensi membantu mengatasi masalah terkait jangkauan kendaraan listrik.
Drivers for a Trucksters carrier haul a load for nine hours – the maximum allowed before a mandated rest period in Europe – at which time they hand the trailer over to another driver who completes the trip. After completing their 11-hour rest period, the first driver hooks up to a different trailer and returns to their origin with another load.
We are impressed with what Trucksters have accomplished and see that Volvo Group can add considerable strategic value to the development of their business,” Volvo Group Venture Capital president Martin Witt said in a press release. “With a growing need for freight transportation, relay systems can provide a solid structure for electrification for longhaul transportation as well as for autonomous solutions in the future.”

TIR dapat membantu negara-negara yang tidak memiliki daratan: IRU
In other global trucking news: A global transit system known as TIR is being highlighted as a key tool for 32 landlocked developing countries that don’t have direct access to the sea. But it hasn’t been embraced by any new countries since being adopted more than a decade ago.
“If landlocked developing countries are serious about achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals and fostering trade, environmental protection and social equity, it is time for action and to implement the UN TIR Convention,” IRU Secretary General Umberto de Pretto said in a press release. IRU manages the guaranteed payment of suspended duties and taxes under TIR.
Sealed trucks or containers with the system’s familiar blue plates travel more easily between different countries thanks to an electronic pre-declaration file sent to multiple customs offices and border crossings.
Sekitar 1 juta izin TIR dikeluarkan setiap tahun untuk lebih dari 10.000 perusahaan transportasi dan logistik dan 80.000 truk yang beroperasi di bawah sistem ini.
