Safety & Innovation
Daimler Trucks North America LLC has led the way in North American commercial vehicle safety and innovation. For years, the company has pioneered the implementation of new safety features that make commercial vehicles safer for drivers, passengers and others on the road. Safety technologies offered by Daimler Trucks North America LLC brands include a Lane Guidance Warning System that alerts the driver when the vehicle is drifting out of its lane, and a Roll Advisor and Control System that warns the driver to a potential rollover and slows the truck down. Daimler Trucks North America is also evaluating advanced systems like electronically-controlled braking, which enables additional braking performance and control. Daimler Trucks North America engineers take steps to protect the driver in the unfortunate event of an accident. Vehicles are designed for maximum crash-worthiness with optional airbags and supplemental restraint systems in some configurations.
Daimler Trucks North America also focuses on the science of human-machine interface, always striving to enhance commercial vehicle comfort, visibility and ergonomics. Daimler Trucks North America designers use advanced systems like RAMSIS, a three-dimensional human computer model and simulation tool. The software was developed in cooperation with European automobile manufacturers for the design and analysis of vehicle interiors and aviation cockpits.
Extensive research and development goes into every Daimler Trucks North America LLC product. Each new product is subjected to the Daimler Trucks North America Development system, a ten-step quality gates process that ensures quality at each step of development from market analysis through final testing and launch.
From the company’s very outset, Daimler Trucks North America LLC has led the way in new product developments and technological advances that make commercial vehicles safer, more efficient and more durable.
