The head of Mercedes-Benz vans in Australia says the awarding of new five-star safety ratings to the brands range means piece of mind for owners.
ANCAP yesterday confirmed the top safety rating for the Mercedes-Benz Vito, Viano and Valente following more stringent van testing and assessment criteria by the vehicle safety agency.
Diane Tarr, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Vans, says the new safety ratings give van buyers the chance to choose the safest possible models.
“Our Van customers will continue to enjoy the same safety technologies as passenger car drivers, and we have worked closely with ANCAP since the launch of the current Vito to ensure that we would achieve the more stringent and detailed assessment criteria to achieve a 5-Star rating.
“I want to praise the co-operative engagement by ANCAP which has been instrumental in us achieving this result.
“As a company we are proud that this five-star result makes for a much safer workplace available to the many thousands of van drivers who spend long working days in their vehicles all over Australia.”
