SEA Electric vehicle safety suite

Australian truck manufacturer SEA Electric has launched an expanded safety suite across its entire vehicle range, with further additions to the company’s ecosystem of support partners. Available nationwide, the company’s zero-emissions trucks are available in various specifications, from 4.5 t car licence models through to 22.5 t three-axle rigid configurations, as manufactured at the company’s Melbourne base.

The SEA 45e, SEA 85e and SEA 225e have been configured for a range of final applications in addition to general dry freight, with all ancillary functions fully battery-powered, including for deployment as refuse trucks, refrigerated freight, cherry pickers, tilt trays, tippers and more.

The company has also released an electric aviation refueller and an electric roadworks sweeper, amongst a range of innovative designs that bring sustainability to the Australian transport fleet. Key to the upgraded 2023 vehicle specification is a full suite of functions to enhance the safety of the trucks.

Known as SEA-DAS (SEA Driver Assistance System), the standard array of features includes Vehicle Stability Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Traction Control, an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and dual airbags. SEA Electric has also unveiled its next-generation SEA-Drive 250 power system, complete with an optional hydrogen range extender, aimed at the heavy-duty end of the market.
