Configurable and Adaptable Trucks and Trailers for Optimal Transport Efficiency (TRANSFORMERS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Today trucks are designed and optimised towards a limited variance set of usage and for maximum payload. Future trucks-trailers are easily adaptable for each freight, load and mission. And, in the operation phase, the vehicle combination automatically adjusts itself to the actual driving environment (i.e. traffic situation, topology, and payload). This option has large potential to contribute to t ...
