The European Truck Platooning Challenge (ETPC) community will virtually meet on 20 January to discuss the latest news on Truck Platooning and developments; held twice a year, the ETPC meetings bring together stakeholders and foster the exchange of information on and promote the market uptake of truck platooning. This virtual meeting will focus on the current developments of platooning in Europe, presenting the European project ENSEMBLE and ERTICO’s involvement and activities in the field of automation and platooning and the project AEROFLEX which is working to develop and demonstrate new technologies, concepts and architectures for complete vehicles with optimised aerodynamics, powertrains and safety systems.

A look on overseas deployments will be provided by Richard Bishop, who will share the latest news from the USA. From the other side of the world, we will hear from Prof. Yanjun Shi from the Dalian University of Technology, who will present the Chinese pilot for the 5G MOBIX European project and their truck platooning use case.

Participation is free and open to professional and stakeholders working in the field of automation and ITS via this link.
