Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

Truck platooning, a concept enabled by automated driving technologies, involves multiple trucks traveling closely together at high speeds for improved fuel efficiency. This technology facilitates wireless communication among truck fleets, enabling synchronized speed and braking actions. The platoon resembles a train compartment but with physical disconnects. As automated driving technology gains traction in the transportation industry, truck platooning is expected to become a standard feature in self-driven trucks. OEMs' involvement in the truck rental market will offer fleet operators cost-effective access to these advanced technology-enabled trucks. While the initial cost of renting platooning-enabled trucks may be higher than traditional trucks, it will support revenue growth in mature truck rental markets. Major truck OEMs are currently testing and developing truck platooning technology, with commercialization anticipated towards the end of the forecast period. The emergence of truck platooning and the trend towards truck sharing are significant growth drivers for the global truck rental market.

Market Challenges

• Truck-sharing is a new business model in the transportation industry, where vehicle owners rent out their trucks to individuals or logistics firms for moving limited loads along predetermined routes. This concept improves overall transport network efficiency by managing peak demand and reducing the need for fleet operators to purchase additional vehicles. Truck-sharing also leads to increased utilization of current fleets and infrastructure, significantly reducing transportation costs. However, the growing popularity of truck-sharing may pose a challenge to the global truck rental market during the forecast period. By providing a flexible and cost-effective solution, truck-sharing is becoming an attractive alternative to traditional truck rental services.
