NOVI,
Mich., Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge,
Inc. (NYSE: SRI) announced today that its Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Association (FMCSA) exemption for its MirrorEye®
Camera Monitor System (CMS) has been renewed for an additional five
years. The exemption, originally granted in 2019, allows owners of
MirrorEye-equipped trucks to remove the conventional rear-view
mirrors and operate with an integrated system of cameras and
digital displays.
"This exemption renewal reinforces the benefits of our MirrorEye
system from both a fuel economy and safety perspective," said
Jim Zizelman, president and CEO of
Stoneridge. "MirrorEye provides enhanced, real-time visibility from
nearly every angle of a commercial truck, which can reduce the
frequency and severity of accidents, especially when turning,
during lane changes and in close-corner maneuvers. In addition to
its important safety benefits, MirrorEye-equipped trucks can
achieve a 2-3% increase in fuel savings when traditional mirrors
are removed, which translates to roughly 2.5 tons of CO2
reduction annually per vehicle*."
MirrorEye was the first camera monitor system to receive this
exemption. Since then, the company has partnered with more than 40
fleets in North America to equip
the system on existing vehicles through retrofit applications.
In addition, MirrorEye has been integrated on multiple
original equipment commercial truck and bus platforms in
North America and Europe.
"During the last five years, we've worked closely with our fleet
and OEM partners to validate the benefits of MirrorEye and make it
the leading camera mirror system on the market today," continued
Zizelman.
