According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Truck Platooning Systems market size was valued at US$ 365 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3362 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 35.4% during review period.
A Truck Platooning System electronically links two or more trucks to travel closely in convoy, using V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) communication, radar, and cameras, with the lead truck's driver controlling speed/steering and trailing trucks automatically matching (CACC - Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control), primarily for significant fuel savings (drafting), reduced emissions, smoother traffic, and enhanced safety by reacting faster than humans, though it's driver-assisted, not fully autonomous yet, requiring supportive infrastructure and regulations.
Truck platooning systems enable two or more heavy-duty trucks to travel as a coordinated convoy in the same lane, using automation and vehicle-to-vehicle communication to maintain shorter, more stable headways. A lead vehicle provides the reference trajectory in the longitudinal dimension, while following trucks combine onboard sensing (e.g., radar/camera) with communicated states and intents (speed, acceleration, braking commands, platoon status) to synchronize acceleration/deceleration and respond more consistently in emergency braking. In practice, platooning is widely treated as a transitional step between conventional adaptive cruise control and higher levels of automated driving—particularly for highway freight—aiming to improve safety, traffic efficiency, and fuel/CO₂ performance.
Technically, platooning is best viewed as a layered system. First is longitudinal control that can hold a stable gap with smooth dynamics. Second is the cooperation layer, where V2V messaging allows following trucks to anticipate lead-vehicle actions rather than reacting purely from perception. Third is platoon management logic, covering formation, join/leave, reconfiguration, and handover to manual control. Fourth is safety, redundancy, and resilience: robust behavior under communication dropouts, sensor degradation, emergency braking, cut-ins by surrounding traffic, and the supporting framework for functional safety, cybersecurity, and diagnostics. Many real-world implementations focus primarily on coordinated speed control while keeping steering and lane keeping under the driver's responsibility, so platooning should not be conflated with full autonomy.
The value proposition typically comes from three areas. First, fuel and emissions savings—especially for following vehicles—driven by reduced aerodynamic drag. Second, improved safety potential via coordinated braking and more stable longitudinal dynamics. Third, operational efficiency and reduced driver workload within compliant operating envelopes. Whether these benefits materialize at scale depends heavily on formation efficiency (how quickly and reliably platoons can be built and maintained), traffic conditions (frequency and impact of cut-ins), route/speed profiles, and load distributions.
Constraints and adoption barriers are equally decisive. Regulatory and liability boundaries differ by jurisdiction, affecting permissible following gaps and operational domains. Mixed traffic is a major disruptor: frequent cut-ins can break platoons, increase braking events, and erode fuel and throughput benefits. System safety and robustness are central hurdles—V2V continuity, secure communications, credible fail-safe/fail-operational strategies, and demonstrable emergency braking consistency are essential. Finally, the commercial and organizational layer matters: platooning often requires cross-fleet coordination and, ideally, cross-brand interoperability; without common protocols and workable incentives, matching probability and realized utilization can remain too low for meaningful ROI.
