Developing Autonomous Trucking Depots

As anyone who has tuned into the news or attempted to order a gift for the holidays knows, the United States is facing a supply chain crunch like we’ve never witnessed before in our lifetimes. This supply chain crisis is inarguably having a negative impact on the U.S. economy, causing economic harm to millions of families and impacting the cost of living.

With all of this doom and gloom, there is a solution that is rooted in Innovation. It is a solution that will create jobs and improve the economic livelihoods of individuals working in the trucking industry. It is a solution that will shore up the supply chain and lower the costs of goods.

The solution is autonomous trucking. It is a solution that will require planning and infrastructure to truly scale. Which is where Stantec GenerationAV? comes in. We are a team of autonomous vehicle veterans with deep knowledge and experience, backed by the global infrastructure expertise of Stantec.

As the autonomous trucking industry begins to scale, the need for Class-A infrastructure becomes apparent. This isn’t just our opinion. A 2018 study conducted by Roland Berger demonstrates that operational cost savings could range between 22% and 40% when an autonomous trucking depot is used as a transfer hub.

This is real savings with a real economic impact. But to achieve this potential cost savings, autonomous trucking companies would be wise to partner with global design firms such as Stantec who have the resources, expertise, and proven methodology to bring an autonomous trucking future to reality.

Let’s accelerate autonomy together.
