The Commercial Van Safety Rating headlines in 2022
- FIAT’s Ducato is the first van to achieve the coveted Platinum rating
- The performance of the Ducato’s AEB, speed assistance and lane support systems earned it a score increase of 60% against its 2021 total
- Britain’s best-selling van, the Ford Transit Custom, secures a Gold rating
- Four out of 19 vans received a Gold rating, seven were Silver, while six were Bronze
- Nissan’s Interstar (formerly the NV400) was the worst performer, receiving a Not Recommended rating
- Although 2022 results showed an improvement against 2020, Thatcham Research’s conclusion is that van manufacturers still need to do a lot more to raise their safety game
