NEW FUNCTIONS FOR INCREASED SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND
VBG Coupling Systems
Innovative solutions that increase efficiency and profitability in the transport industry.
VBG is now taking the next big leap in innovation and launching VBG Driver Assist. A completely new system that relies on radar technology and communicates to the driver in the cab. The new software contributes to greater safety for the driver, saves time during coupling, and reduces the risk of unnecessary repair costs.
The new generation of VBG couplings is a major leap in innovation in the industrial segment in which VBG operates. The combination of refined mechanics and new digital technology further increases safety and reliability, while also opening doors for future functions that are now starting to be rolled out.
VBG Driver Assist is a brand-new concept for VBG and the industry as a whole. The system is based on radar technology through which the truck senses the position of the drawbar and then warns the driver when there is a risk of jackknifing as well as guides the driver during coupling. This increases safety for the driver, saves time during coupling, and reduces the risk of unnecessary repair costs. Field trials have been underway for more than two years, and the system is now fine-tuned and ready for customers.
VBG aims to make everyday life in the road transport industry safer and simpler. To accomplish this, a completely new CAN bus-based electrical infrastructure has been developed which, together with digital sensors, will facilitate functional growth in the future. This provides considerable development potential moving forward, and the first step towards digitised functions, which will make the workday simpler and safer for drivers, is now ready for launch through VBG Driver Assist.
