ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST 5

The Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA 5) is a sophisticated software that detects distance and speed to a moving and/or non-moving objects and determines whether putting on the brakes is necessary. The cutting-edge technology is the only system on the market that works down to 8km/hr. – perfect for busy areas such as the CBD.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO 0 KM/H AND BRAKE HOLD MODE

Detroit Assurance provides state-of-the-art road safety technology with its brake hold mode through the use of a radar and a camera integrated onto the truck. In real-time, information is sent to and received by the truck’s brakes, engine and transmission to mitigate drivers removing their foot off the brake pedal, or if their foot unintentionally slips off.

SIDE GUARD ASSIST

The safeguard assist system seamlessly detects objects on the passenger side of the truck and notifies the driver in the cabin – perfect for areas which are either congested or consistently busy.
