The need for an effective solution assisting the trucking industry to identify the “bad actors” on the road.
The industry mentioned the need for 1 million people from urban and rural areas to be hired in the trucking industry. Emission safety was mentioned concerning the technology increases in safety, reduction of the industry’s carbon footprint, and reducing congestion due to increased productivity.
