description: "SANY, a Chinese heavy truck brand, is introducing a new approach to autonomous trucking by using a human driver in a lead vehicle to guide up to four autonomous trucks. This 'platooning' method, co-developed with Pony.ai, aims to address regulatory concerns and improve traffic management while offering significant cost savings. Initial pilots suggest a 29% reduction in freight costs per kilometer and a potential 195% increase in operating profit. This initiative is part of SANY's strategy for digitalization and decarbonization, leveraging advanced technology for enhanced operational efficiency."

# Convoy –electric semi brand SANY pairs autonomy with human experience

Instead of betting the farm on fully self-driving trucks from the jump, Chinese equipment and heavy truck brand SANY is putting a seasoned driver in a lead vehicle with as many as four autonomous heavy trucks programmed to follow his lead.

Co-developed by SANY and Pony.ai to support smart-port and drayage operations, SANY calls its 4th generation human + AI solution “platooning,” and says that the human-led convoy approach can help ease regulatory concerns while, at the same time, helping to smooth out edge cases in traffic while still enjoying the cost benefits of automation.

Those cost benefits can be substantial. Based on estimations from its initial pilots, SANY says the “1+4” platooning solution can reduce per-kilometer freight costs by 29% and increase a fleet’s operating profit by as much as 195%.

“Mass production of the fourth-generation autonomous truck marks another milestone in SANY’s Digitalization and decarbonization strategy. Our industry-leading fully redundant drive-by-wire chassis provides a reliable hardware foundation for autonomous driving. Through deep collaboration with Pony.ai, we are accelerating the scaled adoption of intelligent logistics equipment and delivering unprecedented gains in operational efficiency.”
