Passenger buses, road trains, semi-trailers, and livestock vehicles – heavy vehicles are part and parcel of life on Australian roads.
In 2019 the number of fatalities involving heavy vehicles increased by 27.7% from the previous year. Whether due to a momentary lapse in concentration or driver fatigue setting in, a crash only needs a matter of seconds to occur and the result can be fatal or result in serious injury requiring hospitalisation.
With many fleets driving millions of kilometres a year, on the road seven days a week, often for hours on end, the need for life-saving technology is more apparent than ever before. Especially as we’re dealing with a global pandemic and the added pressure of transporting supplies in a timely manner.
As shown by the following infographic, forward collision avoidance systems can significantly reduce the number of crashes while also delivering an average lifetime per-vehicle saving of nearly $14,000, far in excess of their cost.
