Imagine… By 2030, technology will open up paths to new modes of logistics.
Highways would have a dedicated lane equipped with wireless charging, on which heavy duty electric trucks would run; convoys of platooning trucks with one lead driver heading a line of three unmanned vehicles.
This is a world where one driver will safely transport four trucks’ worth of cargo.
Electric heavy-duty trucks would run silently through the city.
Through wireless communication, drones would directly connect with the trucks and the homes for efficient delivery.
This is an example of efficient logistics, friendly to both people and the environment.
The Quon Vision, which we unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, became a reality in 2017 when we launched our all-new Quon—delivering industry-leading performance on our five smart logistics principles of drivability, fuel efficiency, safety, productivity and uptime.
At the beginning of 2018, together with our industry peers in Japan, we created history with a successful public road platooning test, the world’s first using heavy-duty trucks from four different truck makers.
