HKS releases Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism approved "Safety Monitoring Device for Shuttle Buses". Unique functionality based on feedback from drivers through repeated demonstration tests: key-removal interlocking system improves ease of use.

- The following is content from the press release -

(Head office: Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Daisuke Mizuguchi) will release "HKS Shuttle Bus Safety Monitoring Device MAMORU (confirmation at drop-off type, Certification No. A-029)," a safety device that helps prevent buses from being left behind, which complies with the guidelines of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Since November 2022, MAMORU has been tested at more than 10 kindergartens, and through repeated improvements based on feedback from the kindergartens and actual drivers, we have developed a device that is simple to operate and monitors safety.

Product Features
The greatest feature of MAMORU is that it employs a key-removal interlocking system as a function not found in other products*. Unlike the engine stop interlocking system that is activated by the general key OFF operation, there is no need to operate any switches unless the key is removed when not immediately after pick-up or drop-off, such as during refueling, cleaning, or maintenance. (* According to our company's research, the number of years of operation will be 2023. (*As of March 31, 2023, according to our own research, the key-removal linked type is a unique feature of HKS's "MAMORU" only.)

Based on the results of demonstration tests, we have adopted the key-removal interlocking system in response to many comments that "it is very burdensome to have to press the switch every time the engine is stopped, even when not picking up or dropping off passengers, refueling, cleaning, maintenance, etc." We have adopted the key-removal interlocking system. After the key is removed and the vehicle safety check is completed, the system is activated by simply pressing the "Confirm" button.
In the event of an emergency, a horn alarm and an emergency e-mail will be sent to the user, allowing for quick rescue in the event of an emergency.

Product Structure
MAMORU works as follows.

MAMORU" can be used in both 12V and 24V vehicles.
This is a general-purpose type and can be used in the following vehicles, etc., except for push-start systems.

In addition to this product, three other types, including a type with a drive recorder, will be released sequentially.
