Anand Mahindra mentioned how India has implemented the use of these stoppers since 2014, ever since Nitin Gadkari became the road transport and highways minister India. Commercial Vehicles, especially trucks are one of the biggest contributors of accidents in India. One of the reasons for such high numbers of crashes is parked road side trucks where cars often fail to see the parked trucks and end up crashing inside the trucks.

Mahindra and Mahindra, is among the largest commercial vehicle makers in India, especially trucks. They offer a wide range of commercial vehicles, starting from three wheelers, to personal four wheelers and medium and heavy duty trucks in all load carrying class.
