These vehicles clock up a lot of mileage, they are work horses and those who drive them for a living deserve the same level of protection as the occupants of other vehicles. Passenger cars are now consistently scoring four and five-star safety occupant protection ratings, and we encourage manufacturers to make commercial vehicles just as safe says Mr Gordon.
ANCAP has released a range of new and recent crash test ratings for light commercial vehicles through either ANCAP testing or EuroNCAP, the European New Car Assessment Program which incorporates the same crash-testing protocols as ANCAP. These include 4-star ratings for the Mercedes Vito, VW Caddy Van and VW Transporter, a three-star rating for the Toyota HiAce and a one-star rating for the Mitsubishi Express.
ANCAP is supported by all New Zealand and Australian motoring clubs, the New Zealand government, all Australian State governments and the FIA Foundation. The AA and NZTA are both members of ANCAP.
