The freight logistics and supply chain sector, similar to manufacturing and other sectors, is rapidly adopting digital information technologies. Electrified and Automated Trucking can contribute immensely to this transformation. This creates significant pre-competitive research needs, including assessing technology adoption trends among logistic organizations, operational strategies for Electrified and Automated Trucking, powertrain and energy delivery modes, and the economic and societal impact of the transformed industry. The FLEET Center envisions a broad spectrum of cutting-edge research interests in logistics and vehicle technologies to meet this industry need.
