Top Truck Safety Innovations: Scania, Volvo, DAF, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Renault

🚛Trucks are equipped with advanced emergency braking systems and collision warning systems to prevent accidents.

🚦Lane-keeping assist technology helps trucks stay in their lane and avoid unintentional lane switching.

💥Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) activate at speeds above 10 mph to prevent collisions.

👁️‍🗨️Radar and camera sensors are used to detect obstacles and pedestrians in front of the truck.

🛡️Trucks are equipped with reinforced structures and energy-absorbing systems to protect drivers in the event of a crash.

What is the purpose of an advanced emergency braking system?

—The purpose of an advanced emergency braking system is to automatically apply the brakes to prevent collisions or reduce their severity.

How does lane-keeping assist technology work?

—Lane-keeping assist technology uses sensors or cameras to detect lane markings and helps the driver stay within the lane by providing steering inputs or alerts.

What are forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking systems?

—Forward collision warning systems detect potential collisions and alert the driver, while automatic emergency braking systems apply the brakes to prevent collisions or reduce their severity.

How do trucks detect obstacles and pedestrians?

—Trucks use radar and camera sensors to detect obstacles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle.

What safety features protect drivers in the event of a crash?

—Trucks are equipped with reinforced structures and energy-absorbing systems to protect drivers from the impact of a crash.
