Abstract
An analysis by the National Laboratory of the Rockies on truck platooning technology used on Ohio highways found that truck platooning operated for 40% of driving distances, showcasing its potential to enhance freight efficiency and safety. While energy savings were evident, further optimization of gap distances and operational consistency is needed to fully evaluate fuel savings benefits across diverse driving conditions. While more study is needed, advanced connected and automated vehicle technologies such as platooning demonstrate significant promise for transforming commercial vehicle efficiency and operations.
