By Luke Willetts - 20th November 2022
Germany – Brake and safety equipment manufacturer, Knorr-Bremse AG, based in Munich, Germany, has been contracted, by the end of 2023, to equip more than 500 buses operated by Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein GmbH (VHH) with its retrofittable ProFleet Assist+ Gen 2 turning assistant, with an option to upgrade another 100 buses.
The turning assistant, which is to be provided by its aftermarket division and brand ‘TruckServices’, uses algorithms to provide the driver with an audible warning, as well as a visible warning on the dashboard when the camera detects potential hazards such as a potential collision with a pedestrian, cyclist or another vehicle.
