For professional drivers, the W990 represents the ultimate reward that stands for their dedication and sense of pride.

The W990 employs a suite of technologies features that elevate the driving experience to new heights of safety.

• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Reads traffic conditions via front-facing radar sensor and modulates the throttle and the brakes to keep your truck at a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it.

• LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

The system continually monitors the truck’s location related to lane markings and automatically emits a distinctive audible warning whenever an unintended lane change (unsignaled) is detected — alerting the driver to make a correction.

• SIDE OBJECT DETECTION

Continuously monitors a truck’s blind spots and provides the driver with audible and visual alerts when an object or vehicle has entered these zones — invaluable when making a lane change or negotiating tight delivery sites.

• COLLISION MITIGATION

Detects when the truck may be about to collide with another vehicle or object, alerts the driver and takes pre-emptive braking action —when necessary — to avoid or considerably reduce the severity of a crash.

• Torque Assisted Steering

Torque Assisted Steering is an adaptive steering technology featuring an electric motor control system that works with the hydraulic gear to improve the driving experience. It adjusts torque based on vehicle speed, easing effort at low speeds while firming at higher speeds to provide a consistent feel.

It can be tailored to the driver’s preference with three levels of assistance controlled by a conveniently positioned dash switch. This allows the driver to dial in the system so that it works for them.

• 15-INCH DIGITAL DISPLAY

An industry-first at this size, the new 15-inch high-definition, fully digital instrumentation, contains all the information a driver needs to operate the truck – configurable for as much or as little content as they want.
