Peloton to deliver V2V system for commercial trucks in 2017 – report
Start-up has received funding from several companies including Magna, Denso, and Volvo
Technology startup Peloton Technology said that it will start selling its packages, transponders, and software to enable commercial shippers to form truck platoons. Peloton said that the platooning can improve fuel economy by 4.5%, based on a Peloton trial in 2013, as well as improve safety. CEO Joshua Switkes is quoted as saying, "We will purposely slow down our initial rollout to make sure it's going well. But in 2018, we want to deliver as many systems as truck fleets will buy."
