Fresnel Lens PVC

The Fresnel Lens is a clear, thin, flat plastic lens that is press fitted to a truck’s passenger door window.

Due to a blind spot, drivers of trucks cannot see smaller vehicles or other vulnerable road users which are immediately next to the passenger side door of their HGV. These unseen road users can be hit if the truck changes lane in their direction.

VOSA says, “Even the latest HGVs with a full complement of six mirrors, in compliance with the latest EU directive, still have blind spots to the passenger side which are large enough to hide a family saloon car. The solution is to fit a special Fresnel lens.”
VOSA has conducted trials which have proven that by fitting Fresnel lenses to vehicles, both the frequency and the severity of “sideswipe” accidents is reduced.

The new EU Directive that existing goods vehicles are to be retro-fitted on the passenger side with mirrors helps cure the blind spot problem, although VOSA would still recommend the fitting of a Frensel Lens as there is still a blind spot on the passenger side and just ahead of the cab. This blind spot is large enough to hide a small family saloon car and the solution is to fit a Fresnel Lens.

The Lens is a simple, effective product and can be used on virtually any type of vehicle that is susceptible to blind spots, whether left or right hand drive. Blind spots are big enough to hide a small family saloon. The Fresnel Lens is backed by VOSA, The Department of Transport, The Highways Agency and Border & Immigration Agency, Crossrail Vehicle Safety Requirement.
