Euro NCAP’s simulations tested driver warning and active safety technology actions when approaching parked vehicles or slower traffic, as well as when a vehicle in front brakes sharply. Testing also included responses to a child running into the road, and cyclists and pedestrians walking in or crossing the road.

Waiting for first deliveries, this Spring

«Euro NCAP is a byword for vehicle safety, and the organization extending its Gold Award to E-Transit is testament to Ford’s commitment to customer safety across its commercial vehicle range», said Stuart Southgate, director, Safety Engineering, Ford of Europe. «E-Transit’s advanced driver assistance systems help look after drivers and other road users, and support operators looking to maximise uptime while limiting insurance and accident repair costs».
