The future will be smart trucks

It won't be long before trucks are as networked as computers. Volvo, one of the heavy vehicle manufacturers that is investing the most in innovation, is designing trucks that will be able to find a workshop or find the right mechanic to repair a breakdown. The Swedish firm is even working so that the electronic instrumentation of the vehicle is capable of carrying out self-repairs remotely (through its online connection) while the trucker rests or the vehicle is parked.

The techno-trucks will be able to communicate with other vehicles that circulate on the same route and with other intelligent devices and thus avoid accidents, or avoid stops that were not planned. The technology will even allow a kind of autopilot to kick in if something happens to the driver. It will even be possible to run a transport company from the truck itself. But back to the present, the main technological advances that are already being applied to trucks can be seen in the lighting elements: long-range halogen lights or LEDs are increasingly common in the road transport sector. This is one of the reasons why recambiosdelcamion.com and Recambios España have just launched an offer of lighting elements that offers great discounts on long-range headlights with LED lighting and halogen H3 and work lights equipped with leds.
