On the road, each kilometer traveled requires constant vigilance. Between blind spots, heavy traffic and vulnerable users such as cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists, semi-trailer drivers face constant stress. This is where
Flexiguard-FRT makes all the difference. Much more than a simple aerodynamic canvas, our lateral protection patented in Canada and the United States revolutionizes the safety of 2 and 3 axle semi-trailers, while optimizing fuel consumption.
Reduce driver stress with increased protection
One of the biggest challenges for truck drivers is managing blind spots. A single moment can lead to dramatic consequences, endangering road users and causing significant material damage. Flexiguard-FRT acts as a physical barrier which significantly reduces the impact of an accident, thus limiting the risk of serious injuries and loss of life. This enhanced safety allows drivers to focus on their journey with greater peace of mind, knowing that their vehicle is better equipped to protect others and themselves.
An innovation designed for safety and efficiency
We didn’t just develop an aerodynamic lateral protection to reduce fuel consumption, although this advantage is undeniable. We wanted to go further by responding to a crucial need: bring a real progress in road safety.
Unlike existing solutions, Flexiguard-FRT offers a rebound effect which attenuates the intensity of the shock of a side impact, thus significantly reducing physical and material damage. This unique technology represents a major asset for the road transport industry by limiting costs related to repairs and service interruptions.
A commitment to a safer and greener road
By integrating Flexiguard-FRT into their semi-trailers, carriers are not only making a strategic choice for safety, but they are also helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Improved aerodynamics enables more efficient fuel consumption, thereby reducing the ecological footprint of truck fleets. One more step towards more responsible and sustainable transport.
An ethical and responsible approach for employers
For truck fleet owners and transport companies, adopting Flexiguard-FRT is part of an ethical approach and good management practice. Ensuring the safety of drivers and other road users is a major responsibility. By investing in advanced protection technologies, employers demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their employees and their desire to reduce the risk of accidents, while contributing to a safer transportation model that respects environmental standards.
At Fortier, we firmly believe that innovation must serve a clear objective: making our roads safer for everyone. With Flexiguard-FRT, we want to raise awareness and encourage all road transport stakeholders to prioritize safety, not only to protect drivers and road users, but also to build a future where efficiency, responsibility and peace of mind go hand in hand.
