Road Safety Week 2025: Why Safer Streets Start with Smarter Vehicles

Every year, 1.2 million lives are lost in road traffic crashes, with 50 million more injured, many with life-altering consequences (WHO). The 8th UN Global Road Safety Week (12–18 May 2025) focuses on safer mobility and protecting vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists. Key statistics include:

• Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young people (ages 5–29).
• Over 1 in 4 road deaths involve pedestrians and cyclists.
• Most fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries, despite fewer vehicles on the road.

At Daltec, we are dedicated to enhancing vehicle safety, ensuring every journey is safe by providing advanced solutions that help prevent accidents and save lives.

Our Technology. Your Safety.

Here’s how our core product lines are helping to improve road safety and align with the global mission of Vision Zero:

1. DVS PSS (Progressive Safe System) Solutions

Our DVS PSS solutions include AI-powered cameras and radar technology that help eliminate blind spots, particularly for HGVs in urban environments such as London. Our solutions provide: 

• Achieve compliance with the DVS PSS Regulation 
• In-cab alerts to warn drivers of pedestrians and cyclists 
• Improve overall vehicle and road user safety 

2. IRIS 360 Camera Solution

This four-camera system offers drivers a real-time 360° bird’s-eye view of the vehicle, eliminating blind spots during low-speed manoeuvres and reversing. The IRIS 360 solution is particularly essential for plant and construction machinery. Key benefits include:

• Enhanced visibility for construction sites
• Reduced risk of collisions and accidents 
• High-resolution digital recording for incident analysis

3. Reversing Camera Solutions

Back-over incidents are one of the most common causes of injury and property damage. Our high-quality reversing camera kit offers:

• Wide-angle rear visibility
• Automatic screen activation when reversing
• Durable and weatherproof components

4. Dashcam Solutions

Our Dashcams and MDVR systems are designed to capture incidents, improve driving behaviour, and provide evidence when it matters most. With features like:

• GPS and G-sensor integration
• High-definition footage
• Real-time upload and remote access options

5. Vehicle Lighting

Poor visibility is a major contributing factor in road collisions. Daltec’s range of high-performance LED lighting ensures that both vehicles and vulnerable road users are seen. Highlights include:

• Ideal for plant, construction, and commercial vehicles
• ECE R10-certified interior and exterior lighting
• IP67-rated durability
• Energy-efficient with bright, consistent illumination

Working Toward Safer Roads for All

The UN’s goal is clear: reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by at least 50% by 2030. At Daltec, we’re proud to be doing our part by providing fleet operators and installers with the tools they need to enhance vehicle safety — not just for drivers, but for everyone sharing the road.

Whether you operate a fleet of HGVs, vans, or specialist vehicles, investing in the right safety equipment is no longer optional — it’s essential.
