Pedal Interface II: Cruise control and speed limitation in one

As traffic situations become ever more complex and people spend more time in their cars, comfort and safety features are moving up the list of priorities. By easing some of the strain of driving, these features allow drivers to focus on the road and arrive feeling more relaxed. This trend is reflected in the increasingly sophisticated equipment installed in new vehicles, as well as the growing desire to upgrade vehicles where no factory-fit solution is provided. Our customised solutions handle sophisticated technical tasks while fulfilling customer requirements and offering maximum ease of operation. Pedal Interface II conveniently combines cruise control and speed limitation in one.

The demand for practical, easy-to-retrofit additional equipment such as cruise control and speed limitation is growing, particularly in the small and mid-sized car market segment. Pedal Interface II can be installed cost effectively in all vehicles featuring electronic engine management.1 The system delivers greater comfort and lower fuel consumption by allowing smoother driving styles and increases safety by aiding compliance with speed restrictions. Three different control stalks are available to suit every requirement.
