Actions are expected to
contribute to the accelerated deployment of innovative connected and automated
freight transport solutions in Europe. Actions will show that they will help to
increase the overall safety and efficiency of freight operations of individual
trucks or fleets (emissions/freight ratio, fuel consumption, road occupancy,
vehicle utilization, capacity of transport network) in confined areas and in mixed traffic (hub to hub) through
innovative connected and automated driving systems. Actions will show the
uptake of new business models and seek to reach a total cost reduction of
operations and logistics and supply chain leading to
improved competitiveness of the European transport and logistics industry. A
cost-benefit analysis will demonstrate the added value and economic viability
of automated systems in real logistics operations for users and stakeholders.
