The commercial vehicle Business Unit of Tata Motors is forging ahead with the development of safety-enhancing advanced driver assistance system solutions for deployment on its medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles.
This ambitious goal is aimed at reducing the number of road accidents, increasing vehicular as well as occupant safety, in a broad range of visibility conditions.
Offering enhanced operational efficiency the systems will also help reduce operating costs for fleets. After becoming the first OEM to deploy Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles last year, Tata Motors is today announcing the availability of a range of new safety technologies.
The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) being offered by Tata Motors include a Collision Mitigation System (CMS) and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) for PRIMA and SIGNA trucks.
Working in collaboration with WABCO India, Tata Motors will implement WABCO’s pioneering technologies which have been optimized for India’s operating conditions. Designed to help mitigate some of the most common causes of accidents involving commercial vehicles, advanced driver assistance system solutions enhance vehicle safety, driver comfort and effectiveness.
Through this partnership, Tata Motors becomes the first OEM to provide a host of specific safety technologies in their vehicles, including Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Automatic Traction Control (ATC), Hill Start Aid (HSA), a Collision Mitigation System (CMS) and a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS).
Commenting on this development, Mr. Girish Wagh, President – Commercial Vehicles, Tata Motors Ltd, said, “Tata Motors has always pioneered transformation in the Indian commercial vehicle Industry with the launch of innovative new products and services. The introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance System solutions is yet another example of how well we understand our customers and offer solutions that will benefit operators and drivers through cutting-edge safety capabilities which help reduce the risk of accidents.
