In addition to electronic stability control, separate proposed regulations will introduce mandatory electronic logging devices for federally regulated motor carriers (trucks and buses) and their commercial drivers.
Requirement will save up to 49 lives, prevent up to 1,759 crashes each year, and provide net economic benefits of more than $300 million annually.
All are equipped with Cummins ISX engines, Allison B500G4 transmissions and luxury entertainment systems with 15-inch flat screen TVs.
Agency research shows the technology could prevent up to 56% of rollover crashes each year—the deadliest among all crash types—and another 14% of loss-of-control crashes.
The active system improves handling safety and stability and is based on the electronic ABS advanced anti-lock braking system, which optimizes braking force. It is now standard on all S 417 and S 407 vehicles.
