Safety technology fitted to German trucks is cutting accidents

A survey carried out by 4809 BGL, Germany’s association of road cargo transport, logistics and waste disposal, BGL, says that safety technology is cutting accidents. The survey results show that driver assistance systems fitted to trucks can cut the risk of the vehicles being involved in accidents by some 26- 4%. According to BGL, the survey shows that firms in the sector should install these systems sooner rather than later, given the long term benefits, rather than waiting until they are legally required.
