Mackworth Vehicle Conversions has announced the introduction of a new cycle safety door. The Mackworth Cycle Vision is available immediately on selected DAF, Renault and Volvo vehicles. 

The new product aims to provide greater safety for vulnerable road users, while ensuring fleet operators benefit from more efficient and quicker fitment as well as the lowest cost on the market at only £1,500.

Thanks to an innovative approach, the Mackworth Vehicle Conversion designers have engineered a product which fits the safety glass into the original door using all the current wiring looms and switches, without any regulators or rails obstructing the drivers view.

In addition, the Mackworth product has been designed to keep the passenger window fully operational.  By adapting the window to a horizontal slide, the driver is able to use the window for air circulation or as an exit in an emergency.

Speaking of the new product Andrew Kent, General Manager at Mackworth Vehicle Conversions said: “We are all aware of the dreadful statistics involving HGVs and vulnerable road users in urban areas and it seems in many of those incidents drivers were unable to see cyclists or pedestrians.

"Our aim in developing this product was twofold, firstly to provide drivers with an unobstructed view while ensuring they still had the comfort of an opening window, and secondly to provide operators with a product at an achievable price, with the added bonus of fast, nationwide fitment.”
