KEEPING YOURSELF and others safe will be a recurring theme at this year’s CV Show.
Among the exhibitors showing new safety technology will be Brigade Electronics, whose new products include a wireless camera monitor system.
A Brigade spokesperson says that while wireless systems have been around for a few years, the picture quality has been less than perfect. New digital systems mean that interference from other vehicle systems has been dealt with and picture quality is much improved. Brigade will also be showing its new generation sidescan sensor system, which warns drivers if cyclists or pedestrians are detected in blind-spots. Sidescan has been improved so that it operates even in the wind and rain.
The CV Show runs on 24-26 April at the NEC Birmingham.
