"With rising competition, shrinking degrees of separation between trucks (products) offered by major truck OEMs, and the rapid proliferation of electronics and connectivity related to advanced technologies, the global trucking industry is undergoing a tectonic change, a change that has impacted many other adjacent and unrelated industries in the past," notes Frost & Sullivan Global Vice President -- Mobility Research Sandeep Kar. "This change is happening at the very core of the industry, one that is changing focus from products to services. Product-based business models are transforming into service-based business models," adds Kar. "Those who thought this change was happening only at the OEM level are encouraged to take a wider look. Tier-1 and 2 suppliers, fleets, owner-operators, truck drivers, technicians and even shippers -- are all experiencing this seismic shift."

"Innovations in the freight brokering market, prognostics, driver monitoring, automated and automatic transmissions, infotainment, truck safety, comfort and convenience technologies, as well as many other commercial technologies that surround us today, show that something exciting is happening in the global commercial vehicle industry," states Frost & Sullivan Program Manager -- Commercial Vehicle Research Bharani Lakshminarasimhan. "As the industry now finds itself on the cusp of transition from a product-based to a service-based business model, it is important to understand that this is just a transition and not the end-game."
