“Since autonomous vehicles provide considerable promise for enhancing safety, energy efficiency, and sustainable use, users may spend less time on road traffic and concentrate on other vehicle duties, while increasing productivity. It is particularly advantageous for the fleet owners of long-haul lorries in a highly competitive and low-margin sector. The possibility of disruptive changes is also present in highly automated vehicles, thus the crucial question is how the industry of third-party providers could be affected.”

Business models and competitive strategies must develop to preserve a competitive advantage, and enterprises are likely to have to re-settle in the value chain. The idea of autonomous automobiles has been absorbing the imagination of multiple generations since the beginning of the 20th century. A widely used adoption is often represented in the field of science-fiction as a faraway vision or something expected only in future films. But the truth is that since the 1920s, testing has continued and companies are introducing the first prototypes of fully autonomous vehicles with the help of the digital revolution.

New businesses within platooning & last-mile providing emerges

The changes for larger 3PLs are distinct from the smaller carriers with the introduction of platooning. New business prospects will arise from the introduction of diving services for large and financially powerful enterprises.

As there is a greater probability that you will discover your dive companions in your own fleet, big enterprises will have a competitive advantage over smaller passenger carriers. Since platooning does not give the final client, however, it is quite likely that smaller enterprises are the ultimate suppliers. The responsibility for these last mill suppliers is therefore to supply the items to the final client from the terminal where the platoon finishes.

Major Market Highlights:
