Safety is first Avoiding safety problems on the road is a requirement for our vehicles, and ac-tive and passive safety are strategic aspects for new product and service developments. From the design phase, we invest the maximum in technology and innovation to be leaders in this field and to guarantee the highest levels of safety for both drivers and passengers. All Irizar brand coach and bus models comply with safety standard R.66.02 and are equipped with the most advanced active safety technologies on the market in order to help, warn, and assist drivers and avoid hazardous situations. Highlights include stability control (ESP), adaptive and predictive cruise control (ACC + PCC), advanced emergency braking systems (AEBS), involuntary lane change (LDW), detection and monitoring of tire pressure (TPTMS), full LED headlights, driver fatigue detector (DFT) and optional predictive shifting (PS), as well as video surveillance for image recording and anti-theft device.
These active safety technologies also include the possibility of remote down-load of driver and vehicle cards and audible alerts for pedestrians in the case of silent buses and coaches.
New assistance systems To advance in this field, Irizar has reached collaboration agreements with the world’s leading companies in the sector to jointly develop advanced features aimed at addressing the different levels of automation for Irizar Group buses and coaches while improving safety, efficiency, and connectivity (5G). One of these features is an accident prevention system that identifies potentially dangerous situations and provides visual and acoustic warnings to help drivers avoid or mitigate a collision, acting as a”third eye” that constantly moni-tors the road ahead of the vehicle.
