Articulated Trailers
PeoplePanel® for Articulated Trailers
Articulated trailers are among the longest vehicle configurations on UK roads and protecting people around them is extremely important. They also have some of the largest blind spot areas and need the biggest amount of road space to manoeuvre.
PeoplePanels® are proven to help reduce drag at motorway speeds and contribute towards the overall slipstreaming of the vehicle. Small fuel savings because of this have been reported to us by many of our very happy customers.
One of the most significant areas of driver feedback is an immediately noticeable reduction in near-miss type incidents with other vehicles. Transforming standard grey side rails into a huge visible warning area in a car driver’s eyeline helps increase the error margins between other vehicles, creates further reaction/braking time, and reduces collision risk.

It’s not just a sign,
it’s safety equipment
Research shows that a smooth flat panel covering the standard open rails on the side of a large vehicle offers significant benefits to a person in the event of a collision with a large vehicle.
