Euro NCAP Tests the Safety of Business and Family Vans

Euro NCAP has crash tested some of Europe's best-selling business and family vans using protocols that are more true-to-life than the current legal tests for these van-based vehicles. The safety organisation is calling on manufacturers to offer these vehicles with higher levels of safety equipment and for legislators to review their lenient legal safety requirements. In the tests, the Ford Transit Custom was the only vehicle to score five stars. The Hyundai H1 scored three stars. The Fiat Scudo also scored three stars while the Renault Trafic scored two stars. The Fiat Scudo is available as the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy.
