Hino Distributors NZ Limited is establishing reversing cameras as standard equipment in the light-duty 300 series trucks.
The cameras are ADR-compliant, waterproof and offer a comprehensive view with high-definition quality vision.
The cameras are also infrared night-vision enabled and have a built-in microphone, allowing voice instructions to be communicated to the driver, informing them of any hazards that may not be immediately visible.
These cameras will enable drivers to navigate in reverse with confidence and safety, reducing the risk of injury and increasing workplace safety by displaying a live video and sound feed to the touch-screen multimedia unit.
“Safety is critical for all our vehicles, and we want to lead the market in offering the highest standards to our Hino customers,” says Hino general manager Michael Doeg.
“Globally we see a move towards rear-view cameras – in the USA they will be mandatory for all new passenger vehicles by 2018, to avoid reversing accidents,” says Doeg.
“By implementing this standard in our lighter duty trucks, which people are often driving in commercial and residential environments, we are demonstrating how important safety developments are in New Zealand commercial vehicles,” he says.
