NOVI,
Mich., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced the
availability of its next MirrorEye® Camera Monitor
System program on Daimler Truck North America's (DTNA) new fifth
generation Freightliner Cascadia, which begins series production in
mid-2025. The MirrorCam System, DTNA's branded camera monitor
system is built on Stoneridge's industry-leading MirrorEye
technology and is designed to enhance driver awareness by
augmenting traditional mirrors with external cameras and in-cab
digital monitors to offer a broader field of view, reduce blind
spots, and improve both side and rearward visibility.
This collaboration represents a significant advancement in
driver visibility and vehicle efficiency, marking Stoneridge's
third North American OEM program featuring a factory-installed
camera monitor system.
Key features of Freightliner's MirrorCam include:
- Independent camera wing design with a high mounting position
provides an extended field of vision, displaying front and side
views via three high-resolution in-cab displays.
- Side views that automatically adjust based on trailer position,
identify trailer length and display alerts from Side Guard Assist 2
(SGA2), standard with the Detroit Assurance Suite of Safety
systems. SGA2 notifies the driver when objects or pedestrians are
detected on the driver and passenger side, from the cab to the end
of the trailer.
- Infrared technology and hydrophobic coatings designed to repel
water and other contaminants that enhance visibility both at night
and in inclement weather conditions.
- Aerodynamic wing design that reduces drag compared to
traditional mirrors, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.
"We're extremely proud to collaborate with DTNA in introducing a
cutting-edge camera monitor system for the fifth generation
Cascadia," said Jim Zizelman,
president and CEO of Stoneridge. "We have integrated and will
continue to integrate advanced features and technology into the
MirrorEye platform to take an already impressive system and enhance
it even further."
