During Operation Safe Driver Week, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of safe driving habits and the role our GPS technology plays in achieving this goal. Our GPS systems in our trucks play a vital role in keeping our drivers and the community safe. Here's how: 1️. Speed Monitoring: Our GPS technology actively tracks vehicle speed, ensuring our drivers adhere to speed limits and maintain safe driving practices. ⏱️🚦 Safety first, always!   2️. Harsh Braking Detection: By monitoring harsh braking incidents, we emphasize smooth, controlled driving. This helps reduce the risk of accidents and keeps everyone on the road safer. 🛑⚠️   3️. Hard Acceleration Alerts: Our GPS systems help us identify instances of hard acceleration, promoting fuel efficiency and a safer driving experience. 🚚💨 Let's protect the environment while prioritizing safety!   4️. Pre-Trip Inspections: We believe in thorough pre-trip inspections for every journey. Our GPS systems assist drivers in logging inspections, ensuring that all vehicles are in optimal condition before hitting the road. 🔍✅   Together, we can create a safer and more responsible road environment! 👏🚧   #FastfrateGroup #OperationSafeDriverWeek #SafeDriving #GPSMonitoring #SafetyFirst #ResponsibleDriving #RoadSafety #PreTripInspections #SmartTechnology #DriverAwareness

Our all-new FordTransit Custom - freshly crowned International Van of the Year - adds another piece of cutting-edge technology to its impressive array of features. The innovative Exit Warning technology is designed to alert drivers when an opening door could potentially cause a collision with a passing road user, such as a cyclist, to reduce the risk of dooring accidents and enhance safety, particularly in bustling urban traffic. Think of how this could benefit delivery drivers during the holiday season! But the benefits extend beyond van drivers, as this technology is also offered on the all-new Tourneo Custom multi-activity vehicle, providing added protection for passengers exiting from the rear sliding side doors. 💡Another ingenious idea from Ford to make everyone's journeys safer and more secure. #FordInnovation #TransitCustom #TourneoCustom #WeAreFord

I am consistently impressed by the innovations our team comes up with, and our new 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 safety system is a prime example.   We have successfully integrated the 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 system into the warning and braking strategy of our third-generation Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). This advanced system can anticipate potential collisions with road users crossing the truck's path. When necessary, it promptly alerts the driver and automatically initiates emergency braking, bringing the truck to a complete standstill.    Another noteworthy innovation is our 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 system. While drivers must always remain alert, we understand the value of providing assistance that makes their lives easier. The latest version of our 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 attention warning system continuously evaluates the driver's adjustments to keep the vehicle in its lane. If it detects a decline in the driver's attention – indicated by a drop in the number of steering adjustments – it warns the driver both visually and acoustically. In a way, the truck will know the driver is feeling tired before they do.    Our goal at MAN is to make driving safer and more secure for every road user, ensuring everyone gets home safely.   #SimplyMAN #RoadSafety #DriverSafety #Innovation #VehicleTechnology #SmartTrucks #FleetSafety #InnovativeSolutions 

While advanced driver assistance systems like Automatic Emergency Braking '(AEB) can significantly improve vehicle safety, they are only one part of the safety equation. The effectiveness of these technologies can be compromised if the vehicle is not equipped with safe tyres. Tyres play a crucial role in vehicle safety because they are the only point of contact between the vehicle and the road. Here are a few reasons why safe tyres are essential. 🚗 Traction 🚗 Braking Distance 🚗 Tyre Blowouts 🚗 Cornering and Manoeuvrability As reported by DriverAssist.Tech To view the full story, click here. https://lnkd.in/eZt5sTi3
