That’s why the Malaysian government teamed up with 3M Malaysia to help achieve a higher standard of safety with a new lorry-marking program.

“We would often see heavy vehicles stalled on a long-distance expressway, and with the vehicle unable to run, the backlights would not be lit. Drivers and motorcyclists were often unable see what was in front of them until it was too late.”ABDUL RAZAK HASHIM3M MALAYSIA, TRAFFIC SAFETY & SECURITY3M Malaysia Lorry Marking Program3M’s Diamond Grade DG³ lorry marking tape is designed specifically to reduce rear-end collisions and complies with the new Malaysian Standard.
