The Bendix
®
 Wingman
®
 Advanced
 system is the latest innovation 
for commercial vehicles from the industry leader in active braking 
technologies – Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems. Bendix 
Wingman Advanced brings together adaptive cruise control with 
braking features along with collision mitigation technology, and our 
full-stability technology – Bendix
®
 ESP
®
 – providing your fleet with a 
system that can help. Your fleet benefits from a potent combination 
of active safety technologies that can help your drivers in collisions, 
roll-overs, and loss-of-control situations. In addition, the system can 
provide data, to help keep you in the know about what’s happening 
out on the road.
Helping your drivers on the highway
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
(NHTSA), on average 2-3 rear-end collisions involving heavy trucks 
occur somewhere in the U.S. every hour. When the distance 
between your driver’s truck and the vehicle they’re following starts 
to close, Bendix Wingman Advanced provides the driver following 
distance alerts and, if necessary, will apply the brakes to help the 
driver potentially avoid the collision, or help reduce its severity. 
Unique to Bendix Wingman Advanced are stationary object alerts.  
These alerts give the driver a warning (up to 3.0 seconds) of a 
metallic object, such as a stalled car, blocking the lane of travel.  
Providing information you can use
Performance on the road is important, but you also need 
actionable information to know what’s happening out there. The 
Bendix Wingman Advanced system can deliver important data 
your fleet can use, such as following distance information, alerts 
given, and stability events. Knowing about close calls and other 
insights from the road can help you assess and update your 
driver training needs and support fleet operations. 
Making a positive contribution  
to your bottom line
It’s all about getting a quick return on your safety investment. 
The Bendix Wingman Advanced system helps your fleet in 
two significant ways. First, by helping drivers potentially avoid 
rear-end collisions or, at least, help reduce their severity, your 
fleet may see fewer accidents and less accident-related costs. 
Second, the system can help your drivers stay in cruise control 
longer, which – depending on your fleet operations – can result 
in significant fuel savings.
The Key is Active Braking
