From anticipating traffic slowdowns to protecting blind spots to keeping trucks in their lanes, Detroit Assurance® Suite of Safety Systems has the technology to help improve safety and uptime.

State-of-the-Art Safety from Detroit

The 57X comes equipped with the entire Detroit Assurance® Suite of Safety Systems, the most advanced safety technology in the industry. The suite features a number of safety-improving technologies, which you can learn more about right here.

Active Brake Assist 5

Active Brake Assist 5 detects distance and speed to moving and stationary objects in its path and determines if braking is necessary. It’s the only system on the market that works down to 5 MPH*, making it ideal for travel in congested urban areas. It also recognizes pedestrians who are about to cross in the truck’s path, alerting the operator while partially braking, followed by full braking if the operator does not react.

*with Detroit® DT12® transmission

Adaptive Cruise Control To 0 MPH And Tailgate Warning

Detroit Assurance technology enables state-of-the-art features such as Adaptive Cruise Control to 0 MPH to ease driving in stop-and-go traffic, as well as help mitigate front and rear collisions.

Brake Hold Mode

Whether stopped in heavy traffic or for any other reason, this state-of-the-art feature can keep a truck* stopped when the driver removes their foot from the brake. Brake Hold Mode can be engaged by pressing the brake pedal all the way down. It automatically disengages when the driver accelerates.

*with DT12 Transmission

Lane Keep Assist

Lane Keep Assist reads and tracks lane markers to help drivers keep their trucks centered in their lane.

Lane Departure Protection

This safety feature detects when a truck drifts out of its lane and then actively steers it back on course.

Side Guard Assist

A game changer for safety, Side Guard Assist detects objects on the passenger side of the truck and alerts the operator.

Active Side Guard Assist

This industry leading technology detects and actively prevents the truck from making a right turn into moving cyclists and pedestrians in urban situations.

Durable and Expansive Windshield

  1. FIELD OF VISION – Delivers best-in-class field of vision thanks to a surface area that’s 28% larger than our previous product offering, making it one of the largest windshields in its class.
  2. ONE-PIECE DESIGN – One-piece, roped-in design enhances the field of vision with an unobstructed view, while providing easy replacement in case of damage.
  3. IMPACT RESISTANCE – Optional TufGlass impact-resistant windshield is 2.5x more resistant to damage, reducing repair costs and downtime.
  4. SOLAR TINTED GLASS – Standard solar tinted glass reduces heat in the cab, improving operator comfort.
  5. WIDER WIPER ZONE – 24-inch wiper blades that cross over the centre of the glass for a 37% improved wiper zone, giving operators greater visibility and a more unobstructed view.

Dual Stage Intelligent LED Headlights

  1. Impact Resistance – High-impact polycarbonate lenses with additional hard coating protection to prevent cracking, scratching or damage to the headlight from rocks or road debris.
  2. Heated Lens – Optional Dual Stage intelligent heat grids to melt away ice and in humid environments, eliminate condensation, in minutes.
  3. Integrated Amber DRL – Integrated amber daytime running lights that double as turn signals, making the truck more visible to oncoming traffic.
  4. Wide Illumination – LED output is designed to fully illuminate the road, including off to the sides of the vehicle, to reduce eye fatigue while letting operators detect objects sooner.
