Automated trucks and buses are expected to grow from nearly none to 1.2 million a year by 2032, according to a new market analysis<\/a> by Guidehouse Insights.<\/p>\n

The overall market share is projected to reach just over 19% by 2032, reports Freightwaves, with China leading the way with a 38.5% share. North America and Europe are expected to reach 26% and 29% shares, respectively, according to the report authored by Sam Abuelsamid.<\/p>\n

The hockey-stick pattern of automated trucks \u2014 a surge in adoption after a period of relative stability \u2014 is due to several factors. Chief among them is the aging of the current long-haul driver pool. The American Trucking Associations predicts a shortage of as many as 200,000 drivers for long-haul jobs in the next decade, while in Canada the job vacancy rate is expected to rise to 55,000 by 2024 alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nearly 35% of tractor trucks are expected to be automated trucks in North America by 2032, not far behind the 40% in China, Abuelsamid wrote. Globally, automated tractors are projected to account for 21% of deployments with 368,000 units<\/p>\n

Daimler Truck, which is developing autonomous versions of its Class 8 flagship Freightliner Cascadia, says driverless trucks in some form are part of the industry\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fully committed to autonomous trucking as it can benefit everyone,\u201d Martin Daum, Daimler Truck chairman of the board of management, said in a\u00a0press release<\/a>. \u201cIt will help society cope with the growing volume of freight, particularly in times of severe driver shortages.\u201d<\/p>\n

For long-haul, the operational model is expected to be hub to hub with depots located near highway interchanges. At the depots, trailers would be transferred to human-driven daycabs for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Others, including TuSimple, envision fully autonomous trucks that could operate on surface roads to the depot without human drivers on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe potential to reduce or eliminate the cost of drivers and overcome the shortage is widely appealing to shippers,\u201d Abuelsamid said. \u201cLong-haul trucking is also an [operational design domain] that has potential to work well with early deployments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Autonomous trucks also have a role in the last-mile delivery and distribution sector where loads would be sorted and shifted to smaller goods delivery vans for local operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecially designed automated vans, like the Udelv Transporter, have significant opportunities for last-mile deliveries, as do more traditional vans that may combine ADS with a delivery person on board who can either take packages to the door or load up drones while the van drives,\u201d Abuelsamid said.<\/p>\n
