Top road transport trends to watch in 2020
| Committed to keeping its members up to date on what’s happening both on and off the road No images? Click here   The New Year brings new opportunities. Delve into the 2020 top trends in the world of road transport to stay ahead of the game. Here is our take on the latest developments and how they can positively impact your organisation: Digitalisation is the word of the day. Translated into the realm of road transport possibilities, it means:  SMARTER CITIES WITH MaaS Faster, more seamless journeys. According to the EU MyCorridor project, adopting a pan-European MaaS approach to transport, could result in 20% cost reductions for consumers, 10 times faster overall transit times and 75% lower total greenhouse gas emissions. GDPR FOR BUSINESSES With the amount of data in circulation, harmonised EU rules on reciprocity and portability are essential to protect companies sharing their commercial information with MaaS platforms. IRU’s 2020 advocacy efforts are focused on driving the discussions about a legislative framework. PAPERLESS LOGISTICS Digital TIR and e-CMR make the goods transport process paperless, without compromising on safety and security. They also represent a key solution for seamless post-Brexit transits. BLOCKCHAIN SOLUTIONS FOR ROAD TRANSPORT Blockchain solutions and digitalisation of transport processes and documents will boost national economies by billions of dollars and reduce waiting times at borders by 50%, stated IRU on the transition to technology-enabled freight exchanges at the Geneva Blockchain Conference. Environmental goals and how to reach them dominate headlines.  HIGH CAPACITY VEHICLES Greater capacity, fewer journeys. Do HCVs represent the way forward? IRU thinks so. HCVs are one of the key solutions in decarbonising road transport. GREENER FLEETS In striving to attain the ambitious environmental goals set by the Green Deal, the need of recognising the decarbonisation potential of alternative and low-carbon fuels options available for long-distance road transport is essential. The methodology used to measure CO2 should assess the full environmental life-cycle costs of vehicles with a well-to-wheel approach. Alternative fuels have the power to make road transport journeys greener. COLLECTIVE TRANSPORT Buses and coaches are the safest, cleanest and most inclusive alternative to the use of private cars. Doubling the use of bus and coach services has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 40 to 50 million tons per year and the number of road fatalities by up to 1,500 per year in the EU alone. MODAL COOPERATION IS THE SOLUTION The TIR guarantee system is perfectly placed to drive global decarbonisation efforts. Want to choose the most ecofriendly intermodal route to transport goods and eliminate CO2 emissions from trucks stuck waiting days to cross borders? TIR is your answer. People-focused mobility and logistics  Innovative safety solutions have the potential to not only reduce road fatalities, but also to boost productivity and lead to driver shortage reduction. IRU’s recent global survey of nearly 1,000 transport operators has shown that keeping up with the latest safety innovations remains a top priority for the road transport sector. Stay tuned to find out what else the survey revealed – full report coming soon. Want to discover more industry trends?
