The Indiana Department of Transportation, known for overseeing road projects, is also focused on future technologies such as truck automation and electric vehicles. INDOT is conducting research on truck platooning along Interstate 70, aiming to create a truck automation corridor with Ohio. Deputy Commissioner Roland Fegan experienced the technology firsthand and emphasized its potential to improve safety and address the national truck driver shortage. The agency is also investing in an EV charging network and testing an electrified roadway in partnership with Purdue University, Cummins, and others. However, challenges remain, such as the weight of electric truck batteries impacting roadways. INDOT is at the forefront of exploring innovative solutions for transportation that align with modern advancements in the industry.
