Transparency Market Research’s Post

Can you imagine a world without traffic accidents?   We at Daimler Truck AG can. And we strive for accident-free driving – our “Vision Zero”.   As of July, stricter regulations for trucks will be introduced by the EU. On this occasion, I wanted to give you a quick overview of our state-of-the-art safety assistance systems. Some of which go even beyond the legal requirements, but all do focus on one thing: the safety of all road users.   Core is the new electronics platform with 270° sensor fusion technology that enables far-reaching visibility around the vehicle:   ➡️ Active Brake Assist 6: can initiate automated full-stop braking ahead of crossing, oncoming or in-lane road users at speeds of up to 60 km/h plus multi-lane monitoring at a distance of up to 250 meters ➡️ Active Sideguard Assist 2: can scan traffic on both the driver’s and front passenger sides and is able to initiate automated braking at turning speed of up to 20km/h at the passenger side ➡️ Front Guard Assist: when moving off and at intersections, it monitors the traffic in front of the vehicle and supports the driver with two-stage warning system ➡️ Active Drive Assist 3: enables partially automated driving and now also offers an emergency steering function which can actively countersteer to prevent leaving the lane and steer the vehicle back into the center of the lane ➡️ Traffic Sign Assist: not only permanently displays speed limits, but also identifies passing and warning signs   We’ll start the roll-out of these safety assistance systems in all Mercedes-Benz truck and bus models as well as Setra bus models. With all these assistance systems, we want to support and relieve drivers in their demanding work.   This is a major step towards our “Vision Zero” of accident-free driving. Many thanks to the entire Daimler Truck AG team for working to make this vision a reality – let's keep it up!   #Safetyfirst #transformation #digitalization #WeAreDaimlerTruck #ForAllWhoKeepTheWorldMoving
