Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany – As the updated General Safety Regulation (GSR) deadline approaches, Daimler Truck has announced that its fleet, including trucks, buses, and touring coaches, already surpasses the new EU safety requirements set to take effect in July 2024. The GSR, mandating advanced driver assistance systems, has been applicable to new vehicle models since July 2022, and Daimler Truck’s commitment to safety is evident in its latest offerings.
In anticipation of the EU’s GSR, Daimler Truck has proactively equipped its vehicles with a series of sophisticated driver assistance systems. These systems are designed to mitigate risks associated with driver inattentiveness due to fatigue, stress, or distraction, thereby enhancing road safety for drivers, passengers, and all other road users.
Key safety features in Daimler Truck’s vehicles include Active Brake Assist 6, Active Sideguard Assist 2, Front Guard Assist, Active Drive Assist 3, and Traffic Sign Assist. These technologies are now standard across all vehicle variants, including Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ Actros, Arocs, Atego, and Econic model series, as well as Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks and the city, intercity, and touring coaches of the Mercedes-Benz and Setra brands.
The integration of these advanced systems not only aligns with the upcoming GSR mandates but also adds significant value to Daimler Truck’s fleet, especially in the context of its battery-electric models like the eActros 600.
