Tesla, ..., startups)

21. key takeaways
• trucking’s future is digitized, electrified, connected
& automated
• the truck will become part of IoT-enabled logistics
• new business models like digital freight brokerage
(Uber for trucks) or last mile delivery concepts such
• new business models like digital freight brokerage
(Uber for trucks) or last mile delivery concepts such
as vans and drones, combined with real time data,
sensorisation and autonomous vehicle technology
will transform the logistics sector
• multiple stakeholders will compete and OEMs will
transform into mobility service providers
