Peterbilt offers Eaton VORAD CWS
Peterbilt
Peterbilt will offer Eaton VORAD’s EVT-300 collision warning system on its model 379, 387, 378, and 357 vehicles. The EVT-300 system equips a vehicle with sensors at its front and sides. The sensors emit radar signals that detect vehicles in their transmitting range, including the truck’s side blind spots. If the sensors detect a potential hazard, such as the truck switching into a lane occupied by another vehicle, an on-dash display unit will produce visual and audio signals to warn the operator.
The optional SmartCruise feature integrates VORAD with a truck’s cruise control. As VORAD monitors vehicles in the lane ahead of the truck, SmartCruise will accelerate and decelerate the truck to maintain a safe, pre-set following distance.
