Ford’s full house for NCAP Platinum score

The Transit joins the Transit Custom, Transit Connect and Transit Courier in securing the highest achievable safety recognition from the independent vehicle safety authority.

Ford gave the Transit a major technology upgrade for the 2024 model year, boosting connectivity and productivity for fleets and also adding new safety tech as standard. This includes Pre-Collision Assist with autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping alert & aid and intelligent speed assist.

Equipped with technologies that can help avoid or mitigate the effects of collisions, prevent drivers drifting in or across lanes and automatically limit vehicle speed, the enhanced Transit achieved an overall score of 95% across the six evaluated categories. The result included maximum scores for occupant safety monitoring and lane support systems.

Euro NCAP said the latest-generation Transit excels in all areas, adding: “With safety technology which is on a par with modern passenger cars, the Transit sits comfortably among the vans offering the highest levels of safety.”

Hans Schep, general manager at Ford Pro, Europe, said: “The safety of drivers and cargo is the number one priority for businesses across Europe. Euro NCAP Platinum awards for our entire Transit line-up are the ultimate recognition of how seriously we take safety at Ford Pro.”
