USA – At the Technology & Maintenance Council Annual Meeting (“TMC 2023”) in Orlando, Florida, held between 28 February and 2 March, Stoneridge Inc of Novi, Michigan and Grote Industries Inc of Madison, Indiana presented a “smart” trailer system providing what is reportedly the industry’s first wired rear-view trailer camera.
The two firms worked together to make a rear-view camera system based on Stoneridge’s ‘MirrorEye CMS’, which replaces traditional vehicle mirrors with cameras and in-cab monitors. The camera feeds real-time video to a display in the cab, providing the driver with a greater field of view of the sides and rear of the tractor-trailer, according to Stoneridge.
