YANTAI, China, Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Driving at night is demanding for drivers, especially in adverse weather. Raytron, a global leader in infrared thermal imaging technology, has integrated its high-performance automotive-grade thermal camera into the latest Tank 400 from Great Wall Motors(GWM), greatly improving its night vision performance under the most challenging conditions. Following its successful integration in the Tank 500, this collaboration accelerates a pivotal shift: infrared sensing is not just a niche feature, but an essential, all-weather sensor for intelligent vehicles.
Infrared Thermal Cameras Add a Layer of Safety for the Automotive Industry
LWIR imaging is increasingly establishing itself as a vital safety standard, especially for off-road vehicles that frequently operate in demanding environments. The Tank 400 is equipped with LWIR night vision, LiDAR and intelligent driving assistance system, marking a shift from traditional "passive protection" to "active prediction" enabled by multi-sensor fusion. For instance, on curved roads or in pitch-dark lanes, the infrared camera detects living beings earlier, providing drivers with valuable extra reaction time. During outdoor camping, continuous infrared monitoring of surroundings enhances parking safety. This all-weather perception helps the Tank 400 tackle various driving conditions-whether during urban commutes or wilderness adventures.
Why Thermal Cameras Are a Game-Changer for Driving Safety
Thermal cameras detect thermal radiation from objects rather than on visible light, which makes them effective at identifying pedestrians, cyclists and endangered wildlife. Raytron's thermal camera can spot targets up to 300 meters away, much farther than traditional headlights. Even in adverse weather, such as fog, dust and sand where traditional sensors are more likely to fail, Raytron's automotive infrared camera cuts through obscurants, delivering a clear thermal image on the display. Additionally, Raytron's thermal camera for car is rigorously tested to perform reliably in extreme temperatures, from -40? to 85?. Whether driving through scorching deserts or extremely cold areas, it continues to deliver all-weather perception, equipping vehicles with robust environmental awareness.
Why Choose Raytron as Your Automotive Thermal Camera Partner
Raytron's automotive thermal imaging solutions cover passenger and commercial vehicles for both OEM and aftermarket installations. Having partnered with over 10 leading automakers, such as BYD, Geely, GWM, Raytron powers advanced night vision for L2, L3, and even L4 automated driving systems, making night driving safer for all.
