German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz has unveiled five new assistance systems to increase the safety of the vans at the Boxberg testing ground in Stuttgart, Germany.
The new assistance systems include Crosswind Assist, Collision Prevention Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and Highbeam Assist.
Mercedes-Benz Vans head Volker Mornhinweg said that the company is launching new assistance and safety systems for vans.
"These systems will support the driver and help to avoid accidents, thereby also ensuring the maximum availability of our vans," Mornhinweg added.
Crosswind Assist is claimed by the company to keep the van on course during strong winds, while the collision prevention assist system alerts the driver when the vehicle gets too close to other moving vehicles on the road or to the end of a queue of traffic.
The Blind Spot Assist system is aimed at alerting the driver when the vehicles in the next lane are dangerously close while changing the lanes.
