Response to Transitional measures for smart tachograph 2 regarding its use of OSNMA

8 Mar 2023

DAF Truck N.V. Eindhoven The Netherlands, fully supports the joint position paper of ACEA, CECRA an CLCCR. The implementation date of the Tachograph G2V2 is not feasible. OEM's do not have correct Tacho's available, the delivery and registrations of trucks are at risk. A lot of superstructures on trucks have alonger lead time then 6 months. A propper introduction can only take place if sufficient Tacho's are available at the OEM's and in the aftermarket. Also a propper and affordable reading equipment must be timely available for all concerning parties.

Response to European Partnership for Safe and Automated Road Transport

15 Aug 2019

DAF Trucks N.V. welcomes the progress made towards an agreement for the next framework programme Horizon Europe. For the key challenges of Connected Automated Mobility (CAM or CCAM) and self-driving vehicles, DAF Trucks N.V calls for a co-programmed partnership (option 1) across industry sectors and value chains: • The co-programmed partnership will enable quick and timely research actions; the institutionalised partnership (based on Article 187 TFEU) inherently will take longer time. Europe cannot afford to lose the global innovation race. We must accelerate R&I programmes, especially when it comes to digitalisation of road transport. With shorter innovation cycles and increasingly fast-acting competition from countries like the United States and China, Europe needs to accelerate both research and the time-to-market. • Increased agility and flexibility of programme and projects. Due to the increased demands on the industry’s constantly evolving business environment, it is crucial to improve the agility and flexibility of R&I programme implementation in order to deliver results in time and with the available resources and funding. The rigid structure of an institutionalised partnership will not fulfil this requirement. • Reduce administrative burdens for the setting up and executing the R&I programme as much as possible. Lower administration efforts are clearly favouring a co-programmed partnership for R&I in Connected Automated Mobility. Digitalisation and automation are both innovation drivers for the automotive industry and decisive factors for the future mobility of citizens in Europe. DAF Trucks N.V is committed to achieve safer, cleaner, smarter and more efficient transport solutions by further emphasising collaborative research in Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM): • CAM technologies will support the Vision Zero targets set for 2050 by decreasing the number of road fatalities and accidents. • CAM contributes to reducing transport emissions and congestion, while ensuring inclusive mobility for persons and goods. • CAM will provide individual mobility to all users; in particular elderly and people with disabilities. • CAM will have a remarkable economic impact ensuring long-term European growth and jobs. • CAM will enable new mobility concepts shifting design & development from a driver-centred to mobility-user-centred approach. DAF Trucks N.V’s ambition for R&I in CAM is to accelerate the implementation of Connected Automated Vehicles significantly; advance the technological competitiveness of the automotive industry; and maintain its position as a significant employer in Europe.
