The latest Euro NCAP Commercial Van ratings released today show a significant improvement in the performance of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) available on Commercial Vans.
Seven vehicles (40% of vehicles tested) received Euro NCAP’s Commercial Van Platinum rating and performed substantially better than the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR2) that came into effect on 1 July 2024. The vehicles are the: Ford Transit Connect, Ford Transit Courier, Maxus eDELIVER 5, Mercedes-Benz Vito, Nissan Interstar, Renault Master, and the VW Caddy Cargo.
The Mercedes-Benz Vito and Ford Transit Courier scored particularly well reflecting the fitment of some of the latest technologies that are common on passenger cars. Euro NCAP has long pushed for parity of fitment and performance between ADAS technologies fitted to passenger cars and commercial vans.
In total, 17 vehicles were tested in this round, with all but one receiving either a Platinum or Gold rating.
