-
A Leeds-based company with over 40 years of experience in the automotive sector has been a pioneer in developing advanced vehicle safety technologies. Their dedicated in-house Research and Development (R&D) team has developed a patented X-Wire technology, which is designed to significantly improve vehicle safety.
X-Wire eliminates the need for driver input in safety systems, making camera and sensor technology more effective and secure. Installation of these systems is efficient, taking only 4-5 hours, which reduces accidents, minimizes downtime, and results in substantial cost savings for businesses. The company is committed to providing state-of-the-art, compliant products that enhance fleet safety, improve operational efficiency, and meet certifications like FORS, CLOCS, and DVS. Additionally, all registered products come with a standard 2-year parts warranty.
The company’s approach is grounded in addressing real-world challenges within the truck fleet sector. One of the key difficulties is providing adequate protection for the rear and sides of trucks and trailers, which are often left exposed. While front-end safety features are standard, trailers typically lack the same level of protection, increasing accident risk. In addition, the use of complex cables and wireless systems, such as Wi-Fi, adds cost and complexity to safety solutions. This issue is particularly acute in urban settings, where truck navigation is challenging, and accidents still occur despite the growing use of systems like blind spot protection.
To address these concerns the business developed the X-Wire system, which allows rear cameras and sensors to communicate with a vehicle’s existing wiring, eliminating the need for additional cables and improving system reliability. Unlike wireless alternatives like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, X-Wire offers secure, interference-free communication. When a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the system automatically activates rear protection features without requiring any driver input, simplifying the process and improving safety. The system is compatible with a wide range of camera and sensor system making it a versatile and easily integrable solution for any fleet.
The installation process for X-Wire is significantly faster than traditional safety systems, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. The ease of installation and the reduction in human error also lead to substantial cost savings for fleet operators. Designed to meet safety standards while being cost-effective, the X-Wire system helps vehicles comply with site safety requirements with minimal effort.
This business has been a leader in truck safety innovation for over two decades, providing market-leading solutions and working closely with trusted partners like Ford and Vauxhall in the UK and Europe. They are also a leading supplier of aftermarket proximity sensor systems across Europe.
The company is willing to establish a commercial or supplier agreement with partners like vehicle manufacturers, fleet management & telematic companies, logistics and e-commerce companies and regulatory bodies.
These strategic partnerships will help expand the company’s reach, improve safety adoption, and reinforce their leadership in vehicle safety technology. - Advantages and Innovations
