January 4, 2023

On the road to the software-defined vehicle
Digital platforms provide the basis for tool-assisted development and efficient operation of software-based vehicle functions and thus pave the way for various new use cases and business models. The platforms create an ecosystem that must serve as an attractive environment offering added value to both parties – i.e. the provider and the user of services. With PANTARIS, ETAS has developed a solution that is tailored to the specific requirements of the automotive sector. This enables faster development of new functions and easier integration of these functions into the vehicle.

While the hardware world would have never developed without standardized product composition information exchange across suppliers, somehow the Software industry made it to this point without such standards.

What is LTL Freight.

whitePaper | November 24, 2022

Sometimes you’ll have freight that is too large to send with a parcel provider, like the US Postal Service, but too small to fill a standard truck. Most often, trying to move your freight as a parcel or truckload shipment would be costly because it’s not the ideal size for those providers. This is where LTL shipping comes in! LTL is an industry acronym that stands for “less-than-truckload”. LTL refers to those shipments that are, quite literally, less than a truckload. They do not need all the space provided in a standard truck trailer because of their size and/or weight. In this case, you’ll find using an LTL carrier is more cost-effective than using a truckload carrier for your freight.
