transport logistic 2019

•••4••• Innovationen Messe-Rundgang zur Anzeigen-Spezial transport logistic2019 According to a forecast by the German Federal Ministry of Trans- port and Digital Infrastructure, by 2030 the volume of truck cargo transport will have risen by 39 per cent compared to 2010. This means efficient and environmen- tally friendly transport concepts are of continuing importance when it comes to reducing road traffic and emissions such as car- bon dioxide, soot particles and ni- trogen oxides. The researchers’ concept is based on the assumption that the truck of the future will drive on the highway automatically. Drivers would then be able to invest the time saved in their own health. The driver’s cabin presented by the team is equipped among oth- er things with cables and pulleys which can be used for exercise, already familiar from the health club. A game-oriented aspect will be added in order to increase mo- tivation, for example based on a virtual reward system. Saving fuel Long trucks with a length of 25.25 metres are ideal for efficient cargo transport. Here two LHV trucks can replace three normal- length trucks. This makes it pos- sible to save fuel, resulting in ben- efits to the environment and the economy. And the total number of trucks on the road will also be reduced. Apps that record cargo information using scan codes or NFC could save time and resourc- es during loading and unloading. The use of LHV trucks alone could cut CO 2 emissions by 20 per cent due to lower fuel consumption with the same cargo loads. Using diesel plug-in hybrid drives could reduce CO 2 emissions by another ten per cent, the best solution from both the environmental and economic points of view. Based on the current state of the art, a solely electric drive train would not be feasible, since a battery ca- pable of providing sufficient ener- gy for the necessary range would be too large and too heavy. Tires with optimised road resistance and improved truck aerodynam- ics could reduce CO 2 emissions by ten per cent. The most important prerequi- site for realisation of the con- cept is the approval of the use of LHV trucks in all of Europe. In their investigations the scien- tists successfully refuted coun- terarguments such as lower driving safety and increased road wear. Another important point is infrastructure: Use of the diesel plug-in hybrid will re- quire additional charging sta- tions on highways. Electric cars will also be able to use these charging stations. Background Truck2030 is a Technical University of Munich (TUM) research project, conducted in collaboration with the OTH Regensburg (Ostbaye- rische Technische Hochschule) as well as five industry partners. The project receives support from the Bavarian Research Foundation. The Technical University of Mu- nich units participating are the Chair of Automotive Technology, the Chair of Internal Combustion Engines and the Chair of Industri- al Design.
