Voyager® Can Help Lower Fuel Costs While Enhancing

Driver Safety

ELKHART, IN (April 15, 2011) - OEM and fleet testing results discovered that by removing the front fender spot mirrors from a truck a .75% to 1.5% increase in fuel economy can occur. With rising gas prices this .75% to 1.5% gain on each truck is significant to a truck fleets bottom line. Fleets can see an ROI in as little as six months depending on average miles and fuel costs. Voyager Heavy Duty can help truck fleets achieve these fuel economy savings while simultaneously increasing driver safety with its Super CMOS Side Vision Cameras.

These compact, highly aerodynamic Voyager® Super CMOS Side Vision Cameras will eliminate drag created by front fender mirrors and replace the visibility these mirrors provide with their 101° horizontal viewing angles. These Super CMOS Side Vision Cameras eliminate blind spots that surround larger vehicles and enhance visibility and safety while out on the road. Utilizing CMOS technology has allowed ASA Electronics to significantly increase the picture quality of the camera, enhance nighttime vision and considerably decrease camera size.

The Voyager® Super CMOS cameras offer drivers the ability to see beyond the normal scope of vision provided by conventional mirrors. When paired with a Voyager® Heavy Duty LCD observation monitor, they deliver high-quality, “real time” images that aid drivers in daily driving maneuvers such as blindside backing, pulling into traffic at angled intersections, changing lanes, merging, pulling into dock areas, and making wide right turns.

These Super CMOS cameras are also “anti-blooming,” which means direct light from headlights, sunrises/sunsets will not wash out the screen or affect driver vision like spot mirrors. The CMOS technology condenses that direct light so the halos and bright areas that can often appear around camera images are eliminated, thus making the cameras that much more effective in high bright (daytime) and low light (nighttime) environments. In addition, these cameras are very compact and can be easily surface mounted on any application.

The Voyager® Super CMOS cameras consist of a cylindrical camera enclosed in a waterproof (IPX7 rated), impact-resistant ABS plastic housing. The housings come in chrome finish or gray (paintable) primer to blend in with any vehicle exterior. They feature 101° horizontal viewing angles, a NTSC video output signal format, 0 Lux sensitivity and IR LED assisted illumination.

The Voyager® Super CMOS cameras will help cut down fuel costs for truck fleets while enhancing safety. These cameras are now currently available to the industry. Contact ASA Electronics (www.asaelectronics.com) or your respective OEM for more information.
