Health, Safety, and Security Review Middle East visited Hanover for the 66th annual IAA Commercial Vehicle Show 2016
The show took place from 22-29 September and featured the biggest names in the commercial vehicle market. With world leading brands such as Volkswagen, Continental, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Hyundai and Michelin attending the event, it is not a surprise that the world’s technical press and component exhibitors were also there in full force.
There was an additional expansion of LNG technology as LIQVIS and Volvo, as well as others unveiled new products to drive the alternative fuel technology. In addition, urban security was another on-trend as ZF and WABCO look to increase the safety of Heavy Goods Vehicles and their other road users, drivers and pedestrians safety.
There are a number of new safety and technical products that have been launched at IAA 2016 from the likes of TomTom and ZF. TomTom's Pro 2020 is a product that can be used through a standard PC and a 2.5 inch display in a truck or van and utilises their award winning WEBFLEET software to help manage and keep track of fleets to assist efficiency and safety. Meanwhile, ZF launched their range of intelligent drive assistance systems which contain a smart lane diversion programme which can slow down the vehicle if it deems it could become out of control.
The IAA 2016 show covered many products, innovations and market insights which are of interest to the Middle Eastern market, and Health, Safety and Security Review shall cover many of these over the coming weeks, with exclusive access to interviews with dealers, product releases and new press material insights.
