Brigade wins safety product award at Automechanika Dubai
Commercial vehicle safety technology provider Brigade Electronics is celebrating success after its Radar Predict Plus was named Safety Product of the Year at the Automechanika Dubai 2025 Awards.
The awards, which are part of the largest international automotive trade show in the Middle East, recognise excellence, innovation and achievement in the automotive aftermarket industry.
Radar Predict Plus, Brigade’s upgraded advanced collision prediction system, stood out to judges for its approach to the protection of vulnerable road users (VRUs).
Originally designed to safeguard cyclists around heavy goods vehicles, the system now redefines VRU detection bycombining the power of AI with radar technology to identify pedestrians, cyclists and other VRUs with exceptional accuracy, says Brigade, while significantly reducing false alarms.
The system goes beyond basic compliance requirements by detecting slow-moving pedestrians and addressing the risks posed by turning vehicles. Its intuitive single-display interface and intelligent notification system keep drivers informed without distraction, the company adds, while its compact form factor ensures simple installation and seamless integration with existing vehicle systems.
In addition to its award win, Brigade also earned recognition as a finalist in a second category. The company’s AI HFR Box was shortlisted for Innovative Product of the Year. The adapter unit enables operators to transform traditional camera systems into intelligent pedestrian-detection solutions without replacing existing hardware, says the firm, offering a cost-effective and environmentally responsible approach to upgrading fleet safety.
Jonathan Jenkinson, Brigade international sales and operations manager, said: “We are thrilled to have Radar Predict Plus recognised as Safety Product of the Year. Being shortlisted for two categories, including Innovation of the Year for our AI HFR Box, showcases Brigade’s ongoing commitment to pioneering smarter, safer commercial vehicle technology.
“The team works tirelessly on enhancing and improving our product range so that we can continue to support operators and drivers across the world. This is testament to their hard work, and I would like to congratulate them all for this much deserved win.”
