Overview of MAN assistance systems for trucks

MAN: Intelligent Safety – Thinking Ahead as Standard

In modern road transport, every second counts – and above all, every life. Whether highly efficient diesel or future-ready eTruck: With the latest technology update, MAN is expanding active vehicle safety with new and enhanced assistance functions. Under the guiding principle of MAN Intelligent Safety, the systems support drivers in their everyday work, help improve the protection of vulnerable road users and can contribute to operational safety across the fleet.

Electronic MAN Trailer Stability Brake

Effective anti-jackknifing protection: Can help to prevent dangerous pushing by the trailer and stabilise the vehicle combination during braking
Three integrated operating modes: Offers the appropriate control for every driving situation, from fully automatic and pedal controlled to manual
Supports the driver on difficult terrain, on downhill gradients and in winter road conditions

Warns of hazards when opening the vehicle doors in heavy city traffic

MAN AttentionGuard (DMS)

Precise detection:
Analyses gaze direction and eye opening for early identification of fatigue and distraction.
Focus on data protection:
Works as a closed, real-time system without the storage of video data or external access.
Individual control:
The system assists the driver in everyday driving, but can be deactivated manually at any time if required.

Frequently asked questions

As part of the European General Safety Regulation (GSR/ADDW function), all new trucks registered from July 2026 must be equipped with an advanced warning system for reduced driver attention. MAN offers the Driver Monitoring System to meet the ADDW requirements for vehicles newly registered in the EU from July 2026. The version may vary depending on the market, legal requirements and vehicle configuration.
