– ADVANCED DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEMS
The safety field day is opened to paid delegates and
special guests of AfMA. The day will incorporate
active safety demonstrations and provide an
opportunity to drive and experience a range of
electric vehicles (passenger and commercial).
The field day activities are designed to demonstrate
the effects of weight on vehicles. Participants will
be able to feel the difference between an unladen,
fully laden and fully laden with a GVM upgrade
equipment. These sessions will include light
commercial, van and station wagon vehicles. Automotive safety technology is pretty easy to

Cohort groups will rotate through the active safety
demonstrations in the morning or afternoon and
experience electric vehicles in the other half of
