“ITS America is proud to honour Meritor Wabco, a company that is leading the way in the use of technology to improve safety in trucking and commercial fleets,” said Scott Belcher, president and CEO of ITS America. “Applications like OnGuard are crucial in helping alert the driver and decelerating the vehicle when a pre-set vehicle following distance is compromised, greatly reducing the impact of crashes. “

"Through continuous innovation and improvements, products like OnGuard are going a long way not only to decrease rear-end collisions, but also to create platforms for more intelligent safety systems down the road," said Jon Morrison, president and general manager of Meritor Wabco.
