Safety
  Safety concept vehicle  
   
 
This working vehicle has been created by Scania to demonstrate safety concepts of the future. There are 15 special features on this truck – some very simple, some highly innovative, some rather advanced… and all designed to help the driver and prevent accidents.

 

Adaptive cruise control
A comfort system that maintains a safe distance to the vehicle in front.

Blind-spot camera
Sees far more than the close-up mirror.

Monitors on A-posts
Provide better vision around the vehicle – and logically placed for the driver.

Night vision system
Small infrared display in front of the driver displays objects that are warmer than the surroundings. People and vehicles can be seen in the dark. Useful supplementary aid to headlights.

Reversing cameras on truck and trailer
Reduce accident damage at the loading bay. See hidden objects and people.

On-board PC
Windows-based system with touch screen. An information centre: vehicle condition, navigation, FMS. Works with the Road Database. 

Wireless headset
Voice activation. The easy way to check the vehicle’s systems and levels, adjust the load height…  and to provide security by voice recognition.

Proximity sensors
Makes you aware of things you can’t see.

Parking pilot
Park as close as you like, without risking so much as a gentle touch.

Communicating mirrors
Not only vision, but warnings: proximity, parking and ice.

Electronic stability program
A reactive system that prevents rolling over. The customer version is supplied without the outrunners.

Lane departure warning
Detects if the vehicle is starting to drift across lanes…  could be the driver is not fully alert.

Safe semitrailer
Full side underrun protection protects pedestrians, bicycle riders and cars.
