SAFETY IN OUR CAB

LOW SEATING

The low seating position enhances the driver's visibility of pedestrians and cyclists, significantly reducing blind spots. This design prioritizes the safety of vulnerable road users, especially in urban environments.

 

USER-FRIENDLY CONTROLS

Intuitively designed controls allow drivers to focus on the road, minimizing distractions. Their ergonomic layout reduces strain and enhances operational efficiency, promoting safer journeys.

 

RECESSED OUTER SEAT

The recessed outer seat improves cab access, reducing the risk of trips or falls when entering or exiting. It ensures a safer workspace for crew members during frequent stops

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Soft ambient lighting reduces glare, enhancing visibility within the cab during low-light conditions. This feature supports safer nighttime operations by minimizing eye strain for drivers.

 

LARGE REAR WINDOWS

Generously sized rear windows provide enhanced visibility of the surroundings, ensuring safer maneuvering in tight spaces. They support accident prevention by offering a clearer view of the working area behind the vehicle.

 

Electric Parking Brake

The electric parking brake automatically engages when the vehicle is stationary, preventing accidental rollaways. It provides peace of mind for drivers and crew, even on uneven surfaces.

SAFETY ON OUR CHASSIS

LED CORNER BEACONS

LED corner beacons provide enhanced visibility to other road users, especially in low-light or adverse weather conditions. Their energy-efficient design ensures reliable performance, keeping the vehicle noticeable and operations safe.

 

LOW-ENTRY CAB

The low-entry cab reduces the step height, making access easier and safer for drivers and crew. This feature minimizes the risk of slips or falls during frequent entry and exit.

 

INCREASED CAB INSULATION

Enhanced cab insulation minimizes external noise, creating a quieter environment that reduces driver fatigue. It also improves thermal comfort, ensuring a safer and more focused driving experience in varying weather conditions.

SAFETY ON OUR BODY

DE 5 CAMERA SYSTEM

The DE 5 Camera System provides comprehensive 360-degree visibility, eliminating blind spots around the vehicle. This advanced technology helps prevent accidents by allowing the driver to monitor their surroundings in real time.

 

OPTIONAL 6TH CAMERA

An optional 6th camera can be added for even greater coverage, tailored to specific operational needs. This additional viewpoint enhances situational awareness in complex environments.

 

DE REVERSE RADAR

The DE Reverse Radar detects obstacles behind the vehicle, providing audible and visual warnings to the driver. This system enhances safety during reversing maneuvers, especially in congested or high-risk areas

DE REVERSE AUTOBRAKING RADAR

WORK/SCENE LIGHTS

Bright work/scene lights illuminate the vehicle's immediate surroundings, ensuring safe operations in low-light conditions. They enhance visibility for the crew during loading, unloading, or maintenance activities at any time of day.
