Novi, Michigan – Stoneridge, Inc. has officially launched the MirrorEye® Multi-Purpose II (MP II) system, which aims to enhance safety and compliance for buses, coaches, and rigid vehicles across Europe. This innovative system is equipped with advanced safety features designed to significantly improve driver awareness and operational efficiency.
The MirrorEye MP II system incorporates a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) and a Moving Off Information System (MOIS) to alert drivers about surrounding vehicles and obstacles. Additionally, it offers digital video output capabilities, allowing for recording and analysis of the driving environment, which can be invaluable for training and legal support purposes.
Replacing traditional side-view mirrors, this latest version of MirrorEye utilizes high-definition cameras paired with in-cabin monitors. This design substantially enhances visibility for drivers, thus reducing blind spots that can lead to accidents. Such improvements cater to the growing demand for technology that aligns with the European Union’s General Safety Regulation (EU 2019/2144), ensuring that vehicles meet the latest safety standards while operating within European territories.
Stoneridge’s President of Electronics Division, Natalia Noblet, highlights the importance of the new MP II system in improving driver performance and supporting fleet operations. The system is specifically engineered to perform optimally in challenging conditions, offering features like infrared lighting, heated camera wings, and high-definition displays that maintain performance in harsh weather or low-light situations.
With a focus on practicality, the MirrorEye MP II system features compact packaging combined with a modular design, which allows for seamless installation in both new and retrofitted vehicles. This user-friendly approach makes it easier for fleets to adopt the technology without extensive modifications.
Headquartered in Novi, Michigan, Stoneridge is renowned for designing and manufacturing electrical and electronic systems for various vehicle markets. The company has joined forces with DB Schenker to pilot the MirrorEye system in its North American fleet, which features 75 trucks. Based on the success of this pilot program, there are plans for future expansion within the fleet.
The introduction of MirrorEye is expected to enhance operational efficiency within transport logistics by eliminating the need for traditional mirrors, ultimately contributing to fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions. As part of its commitment to industry innovation, Stoneridge’s MirrorEye system has been recognized as a leading camera monitor technology, improving safety across different operational environments.
In addition to its partnership with DB Schenker, Stoneridge has collaborated with Maverick Transportation to incorporate MirrorEye into standard equipment for new truck purchases. This strategic move aims to further integrate safety technology into modern vehicle fleets, underscoring Stoneridge’s position at the forefront of vehicle safety enhancement.
By launching the MirrorEye MP II system, Stoneridge is not only setting new safety standards for transportation in Europe but also actively contributing to a broader commitment to environmental sustainability and operational efficiency in the vehicle market.
