For the first time since its launch, Grote Industries is unveiling its 4SEE Smart Trailer System during the Technology & Maintenance Council’s Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition, which takes place this week in Orlando, Florida.
The 4SEE is designed to enable enhanced safety features for fleets and drivers. Grote said it is pleased to further expand the 4SEE capabilities, a leading designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic vehicle systems. Together, Grote and Stoneridge present the industry’s first wired rear-view trailer camera. The solution is connected through the standard J560 seven-way connector, meaning no additional front-to-rear wiring is required. It enables real-time video directly from the back of the trailer to a video display in the cab. With the ability to seamlessly integrate into Stoneridge’s entire suite of vision systems, drivers will have a greater field of view of the side and rear of the tractor-trailer.
“The need for backup video has been recognized in the industry for years, but nobody has been able to deliver it into the cab effectively in real time – until now,” said Dominic Grote, CEO and president of Grote Industries.
