After nearly a year of delay, the European Commission finally published its Euro 7 emissions proposal in November 2022. The new standards, which now include limits on particles from brakes and tires, will significantly impact the product strategies of the world's truck manufacturers and suppliers.

The recent creation of a fuel cell joint venture by Daimler Truck and Volvo Group suggests that hydrogen technology will play a significant part in enabling CO2-neutral transportation in the future. However, whether fuel cell trucks will achieve widespread adoption or be limited to niche applications remains to be seen.

Mass deployment of electric trucks is critical to road freight decarbonization efforts, but the market for such vehicles will remain limited without a robust charging infrastructure.

Advanced propulsion solutions, such as battery electric and fuel cell technology, can significantly increase a heavy truck's unladen weight, in some instances, by up to 3,000kg. To counter this, truck manufacturers are increasing their use of advanced materials, including aluminium, carbon fibre, titanium, and advanced high-strength steel.

Connected trucks have many benefits, so it's no surprise they’ve become commonplace on Europe's roads. However, the vast amount of data created by these vehicles increases the potential for malicious attacks. Therefore, manufacturers must implement more robust and advanced cybersecurity measures to protect their fleets.
