Road safety is key

The newest vehicle in the Kite fleet was acquired with road safety in mind and will help improve Kite's service offering to its increasing customer base in South London. It also meets the latest environmental legislation recommendations. 

In 2015 the media drew attention to an increase in the number of cyclists on the nation’s roads being involved in fatal collisions with trucks and buses. As a safety focused company Kite's newest wagon utilises the latest technology in on-board, all-round CCTV and undertaking warning system technology. As well as all-round CCTV recording, the system also triggers an internal cab alarm alerting the driver to the presence of other vehicles or cyclists performing undertaking manoeuvres.

This 12 tonne rigid curtain side truck also has a load retaining system which helps to protect and stabilise any goods in transit.
