MAN announces adaptive cruise control as standard
As part of the update, Penske NZ are supplying all on-highway vehicles within the MAN TGS and TGX range with ACC as standard
As part of an update to MAN’s safety package, Penske New Zealand are now supplying all on-highway vehicles within the MAN TGS and TGX range with adaptive cruise control (ACC) as standard, the company announced.
The business says factory orders placed for MAN TGS and TGX trucks will now include ACC, which automatically regulates velocity and distance in relation to the vehicle in front when travelling over 25km/h.
"The TGS and TGX platforms already include key safety features such as electronic stability programme, which incorporates dynamic stability and rollover prevention," Dean Hoverd, national sales manager—trucks, Penske New Zealand, says.
"There are many systems on the market that use radar only, however, MAN’s market-leading ACC comprises both radar and camera to detect speed and distance and adapts the speed of the vehicle including braking if necessary.
"When combining the safety package with great fuel economy and low whole-of-life costs, MAN really does offer a competitive overall package that makes good business sense," he says
