THE COMMERCIAL vehicle brand of Iveco Group and Plus has announced that an Iveco S-Way truck equipped with PlusDrive, has started operating on public roads in Germany. The milestone follows a rigorous testing and validation process including extensive closed course testing.
“By making trucking safer, easier, and more sustainable, the new generation of powerful AI-based predictive safety technology like PlusDrive can help reduce the risk of accidents, improve fuel economy, enhance driver retention and ease truck driver shortage across Europe,” said an Iveco spokesman.
Equipped with state-of-the art, AI-based autonomous driving software and advanced sensors including radars and cameras, PlusDrive claims to provide drivers with superhuman awareness of the vehicle’s surroundings.
Public road testing will continue in Germany over several months and expand to Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland.
