1941 DAF Trucks has signed a five-year contract extension to continue to offer 73 Iteris' Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems as a factory-installed option on its heavy trucks. This intelligent system warns the driver if the vehicle unintentionally crosses lane markings on the road. By monitoring steering wheel movement, the system can also discern between intentional lane positioning as opposed to drifting caused by inattention.

“With this extension, DAF becomes the third major European OEM to choose Iteris as its LDW supplier since the beginning of the year,” commented Abbas Mohaddes, president and CEO of Iteris.  “I am particularly pleased that the extension with DAF extends through 2015, which will carry us though the initial phase-in of the EU mandate for active safety systems, including LDW. I believe this extension, in addition to extensions we have received from 570 Scania and 267 MAN, positions us as a market leader in preparation for the EU mandate of active safety for commercial vehicles in 2013 and 2015.”
