Zero oversights. Reliable support to prevent involvement in accidents.

In the environment where trucks operate, there are various "moving hazards" such as pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, and workers. Even drivers who are highly conscious of safe driving find it difficult to be aware of all objects that enter their blind spots. Trucks have large and long bodies, and the shapes of their cargo areas and cabins create many areas that are hard to see, such as on the sides, behind, and directly underneath the vehicle. This structural blind spot is also the reason why accidents often occur during turns or while reversing. The "BFV203" from Pal Giken is an aftermarket warning system developed to cover these "invisible risks." Two AI cameras continuously monitor the area around the vehicle, and when they recognize pedestrians, bicycles, or motorcycles, they immediately alert the driver through video on a monitor and audio from a speaker. It can be easily retrofitted to your current truck. After installation, it will assist in enhancing the driver's visibility from everyday driving to loading and unloading operations, helping to detect potential accidents at an early stage. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF or contact us.*
