Daimler’s truck subsidiary FUSO operates digitally connected with trucks of other brands on public roads around greater Tokyo
Martin Daum, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, responsible for Trucks and Buses: “Two years ago, we demonstrated with Mercedes-Benz trucks in Europe that platooning can be done and is highly advantageous.
Right now, we keep developing the technology with Freightliner on public roads in the US.
Japan is a key market for us that is on the lookout and promotes new technologies.
We take part in the Japanese government’s initiative to push platooning further ahead in Asia and to remain in the lead in the development of this technology.
