Dulevo Germany

D.D.V. GmbH / Dulevo Germany, based in Krefeld, has specialized in cleaning machines for commercial and municipal applications for more than 35 years. Working closely with the Dulevo manufacturing site in Fontanellato, Italy, near Parma, the company focuses on environmentally conscious, reliable and efficient solutions.

Vehicle safety is also an important part of that approach. Dulevo and Brigade have worked together for several years, with Brigade systems used to support driver awareness and visibility across Dulevo machines.

A partnership built on technical support

For Dulevo Germany, the relationship with Brigade is about more than individual products. It is also about responsive support, practical advice and reliable supply.

“The collaboration with Brigade stands out for me because we have competent partners at Brigade. Usually, one phone call is enough to clarify a problem or a special case. Spare parts supply and delivery take place immediately and often by the next day.”

Added awareness around the Dulevo D6

This year, alongside the Brigade components already fitted as standard at the factory across Dulevo machines, a Dulevo D6 was equipped with additional safety systems.

The Dulevo D6 is a large vehicle, which can create areas around the machine that are difficult for the driver to monitor. To help address this, Brigade’s Backeye^®360 AI with Human Form Recognition was retrofitted to support awareness of people around the vehicle.

Backeye®360 AI combines a real-time bird’s-eye view with artificial intelligence. The system detects people within predefined detection zones and provides visual and audible alerts to the driver, helping them maintain awareness during low-speed manoeuvring and operation in busy environments.

Intelligent left-side turn support

As the Dulevo D6 is a right-hand-drive vehicle, Brigade Radar Predict was retrofitted to the left-hand side of the machine.

Radar Predict uses AI-powered radar technology to analyze the speed and direction of both the vehicle and nearby road users. The system distinguishes between moving and static objects, helping to reduce unnecessary warnings and alerting the driver when a genuine risk is detected.

For large municipal machines working in shared spaces, this additional layer of side detection supports driver awareness where cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users may be nearby.

Upgrading the Dulevo D-Zero with AI detection

A Dulevo D-Zero was also fitted with the Backeye^®360 AHD system and Brigade AI Box.

The Brigade AI Box is designed to add AI-powered Human Form Recognition to compatible existing camera systems. Installed in-line with the current system, it detects people within configurable detection zones and provides visual and audible alerts to support driver awareness during manoeuvring and low-speed operation.

For fleets that already use camera systems, this offers a practical upgrade route by adding intelligent detection capability without necessarily replacing the full camera installation.

Cleaner streets, clearer awareness

For Dulevo Germany, reliable cleaning machines and vehicle safety technology work together as part of a wider focus on efficient, responsible operation.

By combining all-round visibility, AI-powered person detection and intelligent radar-based side detection, Brigade systems help Dulevo support drivers operating large municipal cleaning vehicles in complex working environments.
