Mercedes-Benz Truck Actros, Arocs, eActros and Atego, test vehicles also included Daimler Buses and Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks models.
The Daimler Truck Development and Testing Centre (EVZ) in Wörth am Rhein uses high-tech test equipment to explore in great detail the dynamic limits of the various safety features.
The most recent, extensive tests at the EVZ primarily centred on assistance systems that will be used in the various Daimler Truck trucks and buses from April 2024
Alongside the Mercedes-Benz Truck Actros, Arocs, eActros and Atego, test vehicles also included Daimler Buses and Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks models.
The focus is particularly on Active Brake Assist 6, the new Frontguard Assist, Active Sideguard Assist 2, Active Drive Assist 3 and Traffic Sign Assist.
With these systems, which go beyond the legal requirements of the General Safety Regulation 2019/2144 in many aspects, Daimler Truck is once again setting benchmarks in terms of safety.
The new 270-degree fusion technology of the sensors enables almost complete all-round visibility around the vehicle and can thus provide even better protection, particularly for more vulnerable road users.
Around the world, up to 60 Daimler Truck vehicles undergo endurance testing throughout the year. The mileage covered in the process to safeguard the functionality of the new systems will amount to around five million kilometres between 2020 and the end of 2023
