The e-commerce boom and demand for ever faster and flexible delivery, global driver shortages, and pursuit of greater efficiency present ever growing challenges to the freight industry.

This promises to be an interactive and engaging session that explores the following:
  • The growing opportunity (and need) for an autonomous freight future 
  • Leading applications of autonomous technology and the next horizon of priorities for the freight industry 
  • How Transurban is taking the lead in progressing trials and planning for autonomous freight in Australia and beyond 
  • Recent learnings and observations from the CCAT International Outreach which highlight the various approaches being adopted to prepare for an autonomous freight future.
The speakers, combining leading local and global perspective, will bring unique insight and hands-on experience from recent projects and infrastructure planning that is shaping this journey.
