Ford Otosan and AVL take next AV step

Ford Trucks’ new F-MAX tractors with Ford Otosan and AVL platooning technology have successfully completed initial test drives.

Ford Otosan assistant general manager Burak Gökçelik and AVL executive vice president Rolf Dreisbach attended the launch event of the platooning technology at the Ford Otosan Eskişehir Plant in Turkey.

“This is an important milestone on the road to autonomous driving in heavy commercial transportation,” Gökçelik said. “This R&D project will enable us to advance smart mobility, reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption, and improve road safety.

“In the next phases of the project and long term we aim to develop SAE Level 4 autonomous driving features and realize hub-to-hub autonomous highway transportation. We are pleased to be one of the few truck manufacturers in the world investing and working on autonomous truck technologies with a prototype product.”

Dreisbach added, “There are several benefits of platooning, such as the reduction of total cost of ownership and increased fuel savings. Very important to point out is also the increase in safety, which can be realized on all levels of autonomous driving.

“In this joint development project, we aim to increase autonomous driving levels of vehicles and, ultimately, reach a level where no human driver is needed behind the steering wheel. This means we can solve the driver shortage and make transports more cost efficient and safer.

Launched last year as a research and development cooperation between Ford Otosan, AVL Turkey and AVL Regensburg in Germany, the collaboration will re-define trucking, the companies hope.
