Kenworth’s DigitalVision Mirrors are made to improve a driver’s efficiency, safety, and awareness through advanced camera-based technology. Replacing traditional side mirrors, digital mirrors ensure optimal performance and visibility of fleets in all driving conditions.
Improved Fuel Efficiency
Compared to conventional mirrors, DigitalVision mirrors feature a smaller, more aerodynamic design that can improve fuel economy by up to 1.5%.
Reduced Blind Spots & Safer Maneuvering
With large in-cab displays (12.3″ on the driver side and 15″ on the passenger side), visibility is now clearer than your natural line of sight. With a wider field of view inside the cab, you:
- Reduce blind spots for safer lane changes and turns
- See more clearly during changing light conditions with auto-adjusting brightness
- Keep forward focus with A-pillar mounted displays
Enhanced Trailer Tracking & Precision Control
Advanced camera and tracking technology helps you track trailer movement in real time, making tight turns, backing, and docking significantly easier. You get:
- Automatic trailer tracking with end-of-trailer markers
- Clear visibility when turning corners or reversing
- Better accuracy in tight or complex jobsite/driving environments
Easy-to-Function Controls & Selectors
DigitalVision controls are designed to feel familiar and easy to use, so you can operate them without a learning curve. These integrated controls let you:
- Switch easily between traditional mirror view and digital camera view
- Adjust angles using a shared joystick control
- Customize settings through simple on-screen menus
