NX NextMotion – Future Technology for Long-Haul Trucks
The transport industry faces dual challenges: increasing freight volumes and a severe driver shortage. Drive-by-wire technologies like NX NextMotion offer the solution. They make commercial vehicles more efficient, safer, and ready for autonomous applications such as platooning – where trucks drive in tight convoys, save energy, and optimize traffic flow.
NX NextMotion enables precise control, automated driving functions, and 24/7 operation – even on demanding long-haul routes. This ensures reliable logistics despite rising demand.

Drive-by-Wire Revolutionizes Freight Transport
The transport industry is undergoing a transformation: increasing freight demands and a growing driver shortage call for innovative solutions. This is where drive-by-wire technology from NX NextMotion comes in. By replacing mechanical and hydraulic controls with electronic systems, it opens up new possibilities for autonomous long-haul applications, like platooning.
In platooning, multiple trucks travel in tight formations, with the lead vehicle setting the pace and direction. Thanks to electronic control systems, following vehicles react in real-time, maximizing aerodynamic benefits. The result: up to 15% fuel savings, reduced CO₂ emissions, and smoother traffic flow.
Drive-by-wire not only makes vehicles more efficient but also safer. Electronic systems respond faster and more precisely than human drivers, reducing accident risks. Autonomous trucks can also operate around the clock – bypassing the need for mandatory driver rest periods. This increases capacity and ensures the logistics industry remains reliable even as demand grows.
NX NextMotion – the technology redefining transportation.
Our flexible modular system enables the implementation of any drive, steer or brake-by-wire requirements, right through to revolutionary system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
