The truck driving industry plays a critical role in various sectors of the New Zealand economy. The integration of new technology has brought about several important benefits. Here are some key points highlighting the importance of new technology in the truck driving industry:
Safety: New technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and collision avoidance systems, enhance safety on the roads. These technologies can alert drivers to potential hazards, assist in maintaining safe distances, and even initiate emergency braking if needed. Additionally, technologies like lane departure warning systems help reduce accidents caused by driver fatigue or distractions.
Efficiency and Productivity: Our new trucks have been ordered with an emphasis on efficiency. Technologies on our new Freightliner Cascadia Mercedes Benz Arocs are equipped with engine idle reduction systems and aerodynamic enhancements enhance fuel efficiency, having a positive impact on our bottom line and the environment.
Our trucks are all equipped with Navman GPS systems, enabling dispatchers to track the location of each individual truck.
Driver Comfort and Well-Being: We order top of the line trucks. Cab designs are becoming more ergonomic, with features such as adjustable seats, climate control, and improved sleeping bunks. All of our trucks are equipped with Bluetooth, stereos and electronic logbooks.
