International was the first truck manufacturer to offer Bendix’s flagship collision avoidance system – which integrates radar, camera, and the vehicle’s brake system – when the advanced driver assistance system was introduced in 2015.
“Bendix’s ongoing partnership with Navistar is built on years of shared commitment to driver, vehicle, and highway safety,” says Scott Burkhart, Bendix vice president – sales, marketing, and business development. “In 2016, International broke new ground in North America as the first OEM to make collision mitigation technology standard on its then-new LT Series, and its positioning of Wingman Fusion as standard equipment on its complete line of on-highway tractors is both a point of pride for the entire Bendix team and another step forward alongside a true leader in our industry.”
Across North America, Bendix says fleets of all sizes and applications have adopted Wingman Fusion in support of their safety efforts. Bendix proudly works with each to help enhance roadway safety and put professional drivers in safer trucks.
“As part of our DriverFirst philosophy, we concentrate on consistently improving the overall driver experience, safety included,” says Jim Nachtman, director, heavy-duty, Marketing, International Truck. “Partnering with Bendix to make Fusion standard on all of International’s heavy-duty vehicles makes for an important joint contribution to make North American roadways safer for everyone.”
