Wabash Makes Phillips Rear-Vu Camera Standard Option on Dry Van Trailers  – Safety & Compliance

Wabash is making the Phillips Rear-Vu Backup Camera a standard option on all new dry van trailers in 2025. 

Backing incidents are a frequent challenge for fleets, especially in tight or congested areas.

Phillips’ Rear-Vu Camera is a universal backup camera system designed for the trucking industry. The system allows drivers to access real-time, high-definition video from behind the trailer by scanning a QR code located on the trailer nose.

This feature provides an added layer of visibility to anyone operating a tractor-trailer, particularly useful in busy yards, at loading docks and in urban environments.

“We developed the Rear-Vu Camera to provide consistent visibility for any driver operating a trailer, regardless of ownership,” said Dan Forthoffer, Vice President of Research and Development at Phillips Industries. 

“It’s a practical solution aimed at improving safety across the board, similar to the impact in-car backup cameras have had in the automotive industry. 

“Wabash is the first trailer manufacturer to make Rear-Vu a standard option on trailers, and we look forward to seeing how these devices perform in the field so we can expand the offering.”
