Philips Introduced a New Solution to Increase The Visibility of Commercial Vehicles

Philips has introduced a new solution to increase the visibility of commercial vehicles, thereby ensuring safer driving during the day and at night. This introduction anticipates european legislation prescribing that all new trucks and buses – over 33 million – must be equipped with dedicated daytime running lights (drl) from august 2012 onwards. Many countries have already implemented this measure and experienced a significant reduction in accidents. In the us, commercial fleet passenger vehicles modified to operate with drls were involved in 7% fewer daytime multiple-vehicle crashes than similar vehicles without drls. Philips led masterlife daylight 8 offers a high-value drl solution for commercial vehicles already on the road, and enables drivers to benefit from the increased safety of drl. Powered by high-power philips luxeon leds, the energy-efficient led masterlife daylight 8 provides maximum visibility with its highly intense and wide beam. Source:digitimes.com
