Infrastructure economics and digital platforms will drive the future of trucking

The future of trucking will be shaped by two decisive trends: the economics of new infrastructure will determine which zero-emission drivetrains prevail and it will be brutally selective in commercial logic, while heavy-duty vehicles are simultaneously evolving from mechanical products into digital, software-driven platforms with electrification, autonomous functions and predictive energy management. True commercial advantage will come to those who integrate both infrastructure and digitalization.
