IIHS Launches New Attack In War To Make Heavy-Duty Trucks And Cargo Vans Less Deadly

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced a new initiative to improve the safety of heavy-duty trucks and cargo vans, which could significantly impact seafarers who often interact with these vehicles at ports.

The IIHS plans to introduce new safety ratings for these vehicles and encourage manufacturers to adopt advanced safety features, such as automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems.

This could lead to a reduction in accidents involving these vehicles, potentially improving safety for seafarers and other port workers.
