Euro NCAP announce latest safety ratings for Vans Make & Model
Euro NCAP has released the results of its most recently tested Light Commercial Vehicles (vans), with the tests incorporating the vehicles’ Safety Assist (ADAS) technologies. Seven manufacturers/brands were awarded platinum ratings, with nine makes and models classed as meeting ADAS’s Gold standards. Just one vehicle was deemed to meet the Silver classification. Euro NCAP, established in 1996 , is a European voluntary car safety performance assessment programme (i.e., a New Car Assessment Program) based in Leuven, Belgium. In recent years, its portfolio has taken in vans and more recently included trucks. Since 2023 Euro NCAP has applied more detailed Commercial Van testing and assessment protocols than those used in previous years, meaning that ratings of the new and old standards are not comparable.
