TailGUARD

This active safety solution is the commercial vehicle industry’s first Reversing Collision Avoidance System. The system is designed to detect static and moving objects in the blind spot behind the vehicle. With warning and active braking, the system assists the driver during reversing maneuvers. Aiming for avoiding any impending collision, TailGUARD™ can automatically bring the vehicle to a complete stop. By this means, this technology can effectively help to maximize safety and vehicle uptime.
