Safety
Safety
Safety functions for risk prediction
Truly safe driving on a daily basis requires the vehicle to predict potential dangers and immediately notify the driver. Quon features safety systems based on advanced technology including Traffic Eye braking and Driver Alert.The goal of “safety that puts people first” mandates safe conditions for drivers as well as those in the surrounding environment. Safety is built into all basic features, with heat-dissipating, fade-resistant disc brakes available on all models.
Active safety – Traffic Eye Brake
Dual monitoring with millimeter-wave radar and camera dramatically improves detection of the vehicle ahead. The AEBS01 series represents our early compliance with requirements for strengthened braking to reduce collision damage, ahead of scheduled implementation in November 2019.
1. Uses both millimeter-wave radar and camera to monitor conditions in front of the truck.
2. While driving, if the possibility of collision with the vehicle ahead is detected, the driver is quickly notified with a warning indicator and an alarm.
3. If the vehicle reaches a distance where collision is possible, the brakes are applied quickly to reduce any damage due to collision.
* The Traffic Eye Brake System provides assistance for safe driving. However, it does not guarantee that all collisions will be avoided. It might not be possible to use this system in some road, vehicle, and weather conditions. Please take care to drive safely without relying on this system.
Active safety – Lane departure warning system
The cab camera detects the traffic lanes to the left and right. If the driver unintentionally leaves the lane at speeds of 60 km/h or more, an alarm sounds and an indicator flashes. This function is not triggered by the brakes or turn indicators.
* This function is not triggered if the brakes and direction indicators are being used.
Basic safety – LED headlamps
Long-lasting LED low-beam lamps provide bright, clear light to improve night visibility for safe driving.
Basic safety – Long grip and 2-step floor height
An extended grip and two-step entry/exit provide additional driver safety. Cab floor height has also been lowered to improve forward visibility.
Basic safety – Disc brakes
Disc brakes with high heat dissipation and superior fade resistance provide reliable braking performance even on long descents while hauling cargo. In addition, because they are less susceptible to water penetration, they provide stable braking performance even in adverse conditions. They respond quickly and smoothly to the operation of the brake pedal and reduce the impact of braking, to prevent damage to your valuable cargo.
Passive safety – SAFES CABIN
The SAFES CABIN consists of a highly rigid cab loaded with safety features. Collision impact is redirected to the rear, and side-door beams improve safety by enhancing interior strength.
Injury-reducing features include seat belts with pre-tensioners, SRS airbags, and impact-absorbing steering wheel and column. Under-run protection (front and rear) reduce damage to other vehicles and their drivers.

Uptime
Reliability and durability you can count on
Highly reliable and durable trucks are essential for ensuring the high levels of uptime and distribution that shippers demand. Quon achieves its unrivaled quality throughout the entire vehicle, easily passing tests in even the strictest environments. We support our customers’ businesses with reliability and durability that they can count on.
Superb chassis enhances reliability and durability
The Quon uses steel plates treated with cationic coating for rust prevention, as well as a salt water-resistant coating. Resin parts in the cab and parts of the chassis, such as a resin AdBlue® tank, provide an extended service life.
Quality testing in extreme conditions
We consistently conduct a variety of tests under extreme conditions in cold regions. For example, to verify the new Quon’s stability on frozen roads, we repeatedly tested the disc brakes and UDSC (stability control), as well as “one-shot starting.” We also tested Quon’s “escapability” on snow-packed roads and muddy areas.
* The starting assistance function for snowy roads and muddy areas is equipped as standard only for “ESCOT-Ⅵ”.
