A new report from Navigant
Research
analyzes the state of the automated medium and heavy duty
commercial vehicle market, providing global market forecasts, segmented
by vehicle class and region, through 2030.

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving systems
(ADS) for commercial vehicles have been gaining market attention for
several years. While growth of ADS is expected to be rapid once the
technology is fully developed, volumes will remain low over the next
decade. Click

: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
annual sales of highly automated commercial vehicles are not expected to
exceed 1% until 2028.

“Automated technologies can provide many benefits for the commercial
vehicle sector, but challenges such as advancing technological
abilities, overreliance on partially automated systems, regulatory
environments, and public perception will all need to be managed moving
forward,” says William Drier, research analyst at Navigant Research.

According to the report, once challenges are overcome, the most
substantial benefit from ADAS is the potential safety increases it can
provide through features such as automatic emergency braking, lane
departure warning, and lane keeping assist. There is also the potential
for fuel efficiency gains through platooning in the heavy duty long-haul
truck sector. Additionally, higher levels of automation could eventually
reduce labor costs by replacing some of the labor, while providing
downward price pressure on the demand for labor in the rest of the
market.

The report, Automated
Commercial Vehicles
, analyzes the state of the automated medium
and heavy duty commercial vehicle market. The study provides an overview
of the new and established key players operating in the market. Global
market forecasts, segmented by vehicle class and region, extend through
2030. The report also explores the potential opportunities for growth
and development, as well as the challenges to market expansion of ADAS
and ADS. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free
