Airbags Save Lives in Trucks Too

Would you ever buy a new car without airbags?  The fact is, you can’t.  Since 1998, airbags have been standard safety equipment in passenger cars.  And the reason is simple.  They save lives.  According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, more than 50,000 lives have been saved since they were first introduced in cars in 1987.*

Yet, when it comes to heavy trucks, this important safety equipment is rarely found on today’s vehicles.  Why?  That’s a question every driver should be asking his or her fleet. 

Fact:  Airbags save lives.

Fact:  They are available through every major OEM.

Fact:  More than half of occupant fatalities in heavy truck are due to a rollover.**

Until airbag safety is federally mandated and considered standard, the fleet must be the one to request it.  It is seen as “an option.”  That’s why you can make a difference – and you must ask for it by name.  RollTek by IMMI.  It’s safety at your side.  And always remember, to please Buckle up.
