MAN is currently introducing the new generation of advanced emergency braking system with sensor fusion (EBA emergency brake assist) and the emergency stop signal (ESS). At the same time the EBA and also the new lane guard system (LGS) are becoming standard accessories in those vehicle models to which mandatory equipment requirements apply for new registrations from November onwards. This includes the vast majority of MAN trucks, both MAN and NEOPLAN coaches and intercity buses, and also MAN coach chassis.
Even in 2014 every second MAN TGX sold in Germany already included the Active or Active Plus safety package and was equipped with the EBA advanced emergency braking system – and the trend was upwards.
Heinz-Jürgen Löw, Sales & Marketing Chair at MAN Truck & Bus, explains: “This trend confirms our commitment to active safety and MAN’s next step towards a rapid spread of our safety systems: from July the new generation of advanced emergency braking system and lane guard assistant will be standard in virtually all truck and coach models. Our customers are thus given a comprehensive range of safety features and consequently a very high level of active safety. MAN’s new EBA advanced emergency braking system even now delivers braking performance considerably better than that which will be required by law in 2018.”
