Pot do leta 2025: Pričakovani trendi v industriji tovornih vozil

Ustvarjeno: 02. 01. 2025

Posodobljeno: 02. 01. 2025

Od splošnega nezadovoljstva voznikov do nedavnih sprememb CPC voznikov in zamud pri sistemu vstopa/izstopa iz EU - leto 2024 je bilo viharno za logistično industrijo. Za leto 2025 pa je na obzorju še veliko napovedi - v nadaljevanju raziskujemo trende, ki bodo po pričakovanjih zaznamovali ta sektor.

izkoriščanje vseh prednosti umetne inteligence

Pričakovati je, da bo imela avtomatizacija v prihodnjem letu ključno vlogo. Prišlo bo do razvoja tehnologije avtonomnih vozil, sistemov za upravljanje prevoza in elektronskih naprav za beleženje voznega reda, kar bo povzročilo večjo uveljavitev in precejšnje spremembe v panogi.

Poleg tega se bo povečala uporaba umetne inteligence za optimizacijo poti, napovedno vzdrževanje in upravljanje voznega parka. To bo sprožilo boljše rezultate, kot sta izboljšana operativna učinkovitost in nižji stroški. Internet stvari (IoT) in strojno učenje bosta še posebej dragocena, saj se bosta uporabljala za predvidevanje okvar opreme, kar bo zmanjšalo število izpadov.

Podobno bo telematika v živo posredovala dragocene podatke o delovanju vozila, vedenju voznika in stanju tovora, kar bo pripomoglo k večji varnosti in skladnosti.

Odpravljanje razlik med spoloma in pomanjkanje voznikov

S privabljanjem večjega števila voznic tovornjakov lahko rešimo problem pomanjkanja voznikov. Delodajalci bi lahko zagotovili širšo paleto vlog, uvedli programe usposabljanja in politike, ki bi koristile ženskam, ter poskrbeli za bolj vključujoče delovno okolje. Pri slednjem so na voljo ideje o mentorstvu ali delovnih vzorcih, ki bolje ustrezajo življenju voznic tovornjakov (na primer dnevne izmene in pokrivanje krožnih poti, da bi pomagali tistim, ki imajo družinske obveznosti).

Vendar je razprava na strani SNAP na Facebooku pokazala, da spremembe potrebujejo tako moški kot ženske vozniki. Medtem ko so nekateri poudarili, da bi lahko bile nekatere stvari za ženske boljše (ena od njih je na primer pripomnila, da 90 % depojev nima sanitarnih košev), je bilo veliko pripomb o celotnem paketu za zaposlene in udobju postajališč za tovornjake:

"Moški potrebujejo boljšo podporo pri varstvu otrok. Če bi jo, potem ne bi bilo treba ženskam nalagati, da so "odvečne" delovne sile, ko gre za bolezen ali prednostne naloge njihovih otrok. Možnosti so šokantne za oba spola. "

"Izboljšajte pogoje in opremo za VSE voznike in videli boste, da bo v panogo prišlo več ljudi, tako moških kot žensk. "

Zato morajo podjetja preučiti, kako privabiti in zadržati celotno delovno silo. Ponudijo lahko boljše plačilo, delovne pogoje in priložnosti za razvoj. Prav tako lahko izvajajo usposabljanje, da bi zagotovili, da imajo ljudje vse potrebne sposobnosti - za zdaj in za prihodnost.

Spodbujanje okolju prijaznejše industrije

Še ena osrednja tema bo trajnost - zlasti zaradi vse strožjih okoljskih zakonov, prehoda na ničelno neto vrednost in hitro naraščajočih cen goriva.

Vozila na alternativna goriva v letu 2024 niso izpolnila pričakovanj, zato se pričakuje, da se bodo inovacije na tem področju sicer še vedno dogajale, vendar se bodo bolj osredotočale na to, kako lahko vozni parki povečajo učinkovitost delovanja (na primer z uporabo tehnologije, podatkov in umetne inteligence za zmanjšanje izgubljenega časa). Podjetja si bodo prizadevala tudi za vzpostavitev bolj zelenih dobavnih verig s sodelovanjem z okolju prijaznejšimi dobavitelji in prevozniki.

Prav tako se povečuje prehod na električne tovornjake - letos se bodo na parkiriščih za tovornjake pogosteje pojavljale polnilne točke za električne avtomobile. Vendar pa se podjetja, ki se ukvarjajo z voznimi parki, soočajo z ovirami, kot so visoki začetni stroški in nezadostna količina polnilne infrastrukture.

Povečanje prevoza blaga na dolge razdalje

Napovedan je tudi porast letalskega in oceanskega tovora, kar bo vplivalo na panogo tovornega prometa. To se bo še povečalo, ker bodo globalne dobavne verige vedno bolj povezane.

Posledično se bo povečal tovorni promet na dolge razdalje, zato je še toliko bolj pomembno, da imajo vozniki na varnih postajališčih za tovornjake dovolj časa za počitek. Pri tem vam lahko pomaga SNAP.

RAST VOZNIKOV PRED NAMI: VSE, KAR MORATE VEDETI O SPREMEMBAH VAJENIŠTVA

Susie Jones

Apprenticeships in the logistics sector have long provided a pathway for young people and career changers to gain experience in the industry while still earning a wage. However, for a long time, the industry has been calling for urgent reform after it had seen a decline in apprenticeships since the rollout of the Apprenticeship Levy and other challenging factors. A concerning trend is that, according to the RHA, the industry will require new truck drivers over the next five years to meet demand and support growth.In February 2025, the Government announced it would enforce changes to the apprenticeship scheme, allowing up to more apprentices to qualify yearly. We look at the key changes and what it means for the industry.• Businesses will be able to decide whether adult learners over 19 will need to complete level 2 English and maths qualification (equivalent to GCSE) to pass their apprenticeship (Effective immediately).• The duration of an apprenticeship has been reduced from 12 months to eight months (Effective from August 2025).• With a shorter apprenticeship duration, fleet companies can quickly train new drivers and logistics staff improving workforce availability. • Companies now have more say in determining whether English and Maths qualifications are necessary A change benefitting the haulage industry, where practical skills are more relevant. • By changing the educational requirements, a barrier has been removed for many potential apprentices looking to get into the industry. • Skills England, a new government body, will give businesses a stronger voice in shaping apprenticeship standards and funding. Fleet operators will benefit from more tailored training programs that meet industry needs. • A shorter apprenticeship duration combined with more employer flexibility will result in a more attractive process for everyone involved.There are several steps employers must take to employ an apprentice, and the steps vary depending on the country. This guidance is for employers in England guidance for other UK countries can be found • for your business.• for this apprenticeship.• Check to see what • to manage funding and recruit apprentices.• • Make an with your chosen apprentice.Employing apprentices provides fleet companies with a cost-effective way to train skilled workers. Government funding for apprenticeship schemes can reduce training costs, making it a viable long-term investment for fleet operators. Companies can benefit from new employees who bring fresh energy into the workplace and who are keen to learn. Apprenticeships in the haulage industry offer the opportunity to earn while gaining valuable skills in logistics, vehicle operations, and safety regulations. Currently, the industry is in demand for skilled drivers, and apprentices will benefit from good opportunities for career advancement.

TEKOČI PROJEKTI CESTNEGA PROMETA V EVROPI

Susie Jones

In 2023, of EU road transport in tonne-kilometers was transported by HGVs amounting to a maximum permissible laden weight of over 30 tonnes.The road transport industry in Europe is undergoing a major transformation; driven by technological advancements and sustainability goals. For the haulage sector, these changes could be essential for staying competitive in a fast-evolving industry. We'll explore some of the changes coming into effect this year and future advancements.Construction for a highway between Crevillente and Alhama in Murcia started in Q4 2024, and completion is expected in 2030. The project will provide state-of-the-art road transportation infrastructure, improving service levels and long-distance journeys between the areas.Improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and cut travel times. Fleet managers will benefit from lower fuel and maintenance costs and enhanced logistics efficiency.Commenced in Q4 2024, this project consists of a 21.17km four-lane motorway from Trutnov to the border of Poland in the Hradec Kralove Region. The project is part of the D11 motorway that connects Praha, Hradec, Králové, and Trutnov to Poland's border crossing. Improve cross-border connectivity and reduce travel times and congestion. A four-lane motorway will lower fuel costs, improve road safety, and provide a reliable and faster route.With completion set to be in 2027, the A5 tunnel development in Madrid aims to reduce traffic congestion and provide state-of-the-art transportation infrastructure for people in the region. The project will improve air quality, noise pollution, and mobility. Improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and a faster, more reliable route for freight transport.Six lanes will be constructed on 12.6 km of road between Bechovice and the D1 highway in Praha completion for Q4 2027. This project is one of the remaining sections that would complete the Prague Ring Road. Smoother and faster movement of freight vehicles enhancing transport efficiency. Plans to upgrade the existing 9km A47 single-lane motorway to a dual carriageway are underway between North Tuddenham and Easton in Norfolk, UK. Completion is due in Q4 2026.Dualling this section will create more consistent travel, minimising delays and cutting fuel costs.By 2030, Europe's electric truck market is due to hit highlighting the importance of the expansion and the shift towards sustainable transport. €15 billion is expected to be invested in Europe's electric truck charging infrastructure. looks at where the industry will be regarding the infrastructure required for electric charging at truck stops. Electric vehicles will be ubiquitous globally by 2049 fleets will notice the immediate financial benefits and reap the rewards of efficient vehicle management. Italy has introduced drones to monitor road conditions, soundproof screens and fences, and detect traffic jams, stopped vehicles, and other obstacles. The drones rise to 120 metres and cover both directions of the A35 motorway. The recordings are sent to the Control Center, which improves intervention management and allows for a quick response to any issues on the route. The Drone Asset and Traffic Monitoring Project consists of three operational stages:• Stage one: Beginning in October 2024, this stage included drone tests controlled by specialists and the implementation of a platform for managing real-time video transmission at the Brebemi Control Center. • Stage two: Introduced remote control of drones through the control center, which uses advanced sensors to transmit data and images. • Stage three: In the current stage, drones will operate fully autonomously.The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has announced they will be analysing the possibility of adapting three key motorways AP-6, AP-51, and AP-61 to operate without tolls after the agreement expires in November 2029. After this date, these roads will be managed by the Ministry and can be used without a fee. A survey revealed that Western Europe has better road infrastructure compared to Eastern Europe, where there is an overall grim picture of road quality in their countries. The Netherlands took the top spot for road quality in Europe, followed by Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Spain, and Croatia.

POMANJKANJE VOZNIKOV V ZDRUŽENEM KRALJESTVU: ALI SE ŠTEVILO VOZNIKOV IZBOLJŠUJE?

Susie Jones

Anyone working in the haulage industry is no stranger to the term; 'Driver Shortage' a phrase all too common since COVID-19 and Brexit disrupted the sector. The UK was hit hard during this time, with many EU drivers leaving the country a big loss as European drivers made up a significant portion of its truck driving workforce.Six months after our on this topical issue, we examine where the sector is now. Figures published by showed an increase of almost 55,000 HGV Drivers employed over the last year a 21% rise. Several initiatives have come to fruition to try to ease the driver shortage in the UK. • The government has implemented 33 initiatives aimed at easing the shortage. These include but are not limited to, relaxing the rules for late-night supermarket deliveries, driver training boot camps, and increasing the number of available driving tests. • Truck drivers have been across the UK, with 55% wanting improved facilities. The has provided £16 million to truck stops to improve facilities. Influencers have played a significant role in changing public perceptions regarding the industry. Drivers like and use their platforms to highlight the highs and lows of working in the sector.Logistics UK also reported that the number of drivers under the age of 35 rose by 31,630 between Q3 2023 and Q3 2024. Despite this, the industry still relies on older drivers with more than 53% across the sector aged 50 and over. A report from the RHA, titled , suggests initiatives to attract younger people into the industry by:• Fully implementing the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks to provide an effective career guidance system to all school-age students to boost awareness. • Increasing collaboration with schools and colleges.• Developing a formal school or college-based qualification such as a T-Level.• Incorporating logistics modules in the current curriculum.• Leveraging government-supported initiatives incorporated within the Make Work Pay programme, showcasing logistics as an accessible and rewarding career path.Although work has already begun to tackle the driver shortage, more work needs to be done to avoid a repeat of 2021:• More government funding must become available for truck stops to improve facilities. • Providing ongoing support for aspiring drivers, including boot camps to reduce training costs.• Offering greater flexibility within the new Growth and Skills Levy.• Collaborating with schools and colleges at a local level to promote careers in the industry. HGV drivers are leaving the industry for a multitude of reasons:• Ageing workforce: With many truck drivers over 50, the industry has seen an influx of drivers retiring. • Working hours: Trucking is a lonely profession, with drivers working long, irregular, and antisocial hours behind the wheel. • Working conditions: There have been significant concerns regarding the state of facilities, long hours, and unpredictable schedules.
