A turn assist system for trucks
Greater road safety ® with RightViu All road users are fully conscious of the challenges that truck drivers face when turning or reversing. Those manoeuvres can be a significant hazard for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users around the vehicle, and can also be stressful for the driver. If a truck turns right, they may find themselves in what is called a “blind spot”. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) recognized the danger and launched a new road safety campaign focused on turn assist systems. The aim is to equip as many trucks as possible with this new technology, which undoubtedly improves road safety, and therefore to provide financial support for the retrofitting of vehicles with this type of system. RightViu® is the pioneering Continental solution dedicated to trucks to effectively minimize the potential risk that lurks in the “blind spot”.
