“…While all carriers must provide a basic level of equipment to their employee drivers, those who choose to exceed this level are likely to be viewed as being more supportive than those who do not. Offering drivers a comfortable working environment is a discretionary decision on the part of management [62]. Because voluntary actions are viewed as particularly strong signals of an organization's support, it is not surprising that, all else being equal, good equipment has been found to be associated with lower driver turnover rates [63].…”

“…When a carrier rents out its trucks to drivers, the costs are calculated according The highly competitive nature of the trucking industry often demands nearly around-the-clock operation of vehicles and equipment [1,61]. Because of the long and often boring working time [13][14][15], comfort has become an important factor that truck drivers consider [62]. While all carriers must provide a basic level of equipment to their employee drivers, those who choose to exceed this level are likely to be viewed as being more supportive than those who do not.…”

“…Comfortable driving and rest environments, effective noise prevention systems, and the decor of truck interiors are important factors affecting truck-purchasing decisions. Recent research finds that with increasing popularity of the concept of automated driving in the trucking industry, owner-operators are becoming more interested in sustainable technologies related to comfort [1,62]. We, therefore, hypothesized:…”

“…Given the importance of safety, both carriers and owner-operators are very interested in improving their safety management [5,6,15,62]. The carrier believes that the risk of renting out the truck to a driver depends on two aspects: (1) technical safety attributes of the truck and (2) the skills and driving habits of the truck driver [62]. According to the TCE, carriers should be more risk neutral than the owner-operators [27].…”

This article examines perceived importance of sustainable technologies and how organizational buyers and individual buyers differ in their willingness to pay for sustainable technological innovations an emerging market. Extensive field research was conducted to develop the study measures. Using Weber’s step-by-step method of coding, we selected 24 sustainable technologies that are representative of the technological preferences and demands of truck drivers in China. We also conducted pretests with trucking company executives to improve the final survey instrument. We collected data from 510 organizational buyers and 2680 individual buyers. Results show that organizational buyers and individual buyers have similar preferences for 15 of the 24 sustainable technologies. The individual buyers have a significantly higher preference than organizational buyers for sustainable technologies, such as comfort, image, and service attributes. However, the study findings suggest that organizational buyers have a greater preference in the total cost of ownership dimension. Through content analysis of survey responses in China, we identified the most influential and popular sustainable technology in the business-to-business trucking industry in emerging markets, such as China. Our research expands the application of sustainable buying behavior theory to the trucking industry in an emerging market. We suggest management and marketing strategies to sustainable development of trucking industry.

“…The first experiments of usage of onboard intelligent systems have shown that they are able to reduce the number of traffic accidents by 40% and to reduce the number of fatal accidents by 50%. The transition from the creation of driver assistance systems to the development of semi-autonomous unmanned vehicles is a global trend, and it is explained by the desire of developers to ensure the sustainability and the safety of the transport system [11].…”

The transport system is one of the fundamental intelligent systems in the Smart City, and one of the main directions to ensure sustainability and safety of the city transport system is the concept of smart vehicles. Herewith, all processes at all stages of the life cycle should be intellectualized. Since the production stage of the life cycle is one of the most important, the introduction of smart technologies (Industry 4.0) in automotive industry will allow not only to optimize the processes and improve product quality but also to establish favorable conditions for the subsequent intellectualization of the automotive service. The benefits of using smart transport in all fields of activities as well as intellectualization of the decision-making process by the example of the automotive industry enterprises are presented in this chapter.
