Turning and lane changing
ACTIVE SIDEGUARD ASSIST 2. (ASGA 2)
Maximised use is the third pillar of RoadEfficiency. And key factors here are inherently reliable, high-quality trucks and technical innovations.
Brakes
Active Brake Assist 6 Plus. (ABA 6 +)
Active Brake Assist already fulfils the AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking System) legislation, which will come into force in September 2028. The 270‑degree fusion technology features enhanced reality capture. This enables the system to react even faster to critical situations. As a result, greater accident prevention can be achieved for vehicles up to 90 km/h as well as for pedestrians and cyclists up to 60 km/h. The system now also clearly indicates if it is not yet fully active.
Moving off and manoeuvring
FRONTGUARD ASSIST. (FGA)
Frontguard Assist can increase driving safety even before drivers set off: it monitors the traffic area in front of the vehicle and supports the driver in the speed range up to 15 km/h, e.g. when the vehicle is stationary, when moving off or at junctions. If the system detects moving objects in front of the vehicle, such as people, the warning system can help the driver react in good time with a two-stage hazard warning.
