Trucks & Buses to get reverse parking alerts from April 2020

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a notification mandating reverse parking alert systems for trucks and buses manufactured from April 2020.

The government has said that all trucks and buses will be required to have rear sensors that sound a warning when an object is at a certain distance from the vehicle. The alert system could also include reverse cameras. Tractors including puller tractor for semi-trailers, trailers and modular hydraulic trailers will be exempted from this rule. 

From July 2019, reverse parking sensors will also be mandatory for cars and other 4-wheelers.
