DUBLIN—Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Truck Platooning System Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global truck platooning system market to grow at a CAGR of 18.09% during the period 2016-2020.

A trend which is expected to boost market growth is changes in the platoon business models. Currently, truck drivers or fleet operators join or run their truck in a platoon by booking a platoon slot. This happens with a limited number of trucks because a platoon of two trucks is very common and can be extended to a few more trucks. The truck platooning business enterprise provides the time and venue details of the platoon and thereby the platoon slot is booked.

According to the report, a key growth driver is the interoperability of truck platooning platforms which use integrated and connected technologies. The fact that almost all truck OEMs are showcasing their capabilities in truck platooning and are enabling their trucks with these systems is a significant driver in this market. OEMs have incorporated several sensing technologies such as radar, LiDAR, and image sensing along with several active safety systems to deliver enhanced autonomous and connected abilities in their trucks to enable truck platooning.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could curtail market growth is the lack of defined safety parameters.
