European heavy truck manufacturer, 267 MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, has signed a three-year contract extension to continue to offer 73 Iteris’ AutoVue Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems as a factory installed option on its heavy trucks and buses. The new contract covers 2010 through 2012.

MAN is using the AutoVue LDW system for the 267 MAN Lane Guard System, an automatic system designed to help drivers stay in their lanes on motorways and dual carriageways.

According to  Abbas Mohaddes, 73 Iteris’ president and chief executive officer. “To date, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge has installed over 5,500 AutoVue LDW systems in its Lane Guard System for MAN trucks and buses worldwide, providing proven technology that directly increases roadway safety. I believe that this contract extension is an important first step in solidifying our European LDW heavy truck business and gives Iteris a strong competitive foundation as the expected demand for LDW and other active safety technology expands.”
