Ford E-Transit, which is one of the important commercial players in the transition to the new era, made the brand smile with the degree it achieved in safety tests.
Ford E-Transit, Ford’s first fully electric1 commercial model manufactured by Ford Otosan at its Kocaeli Plants, was deemed worthy of the Gold Award in the field of commercial vehicles by the independent vehicle safety assessment organization Euro NCAP, with its comprehensive driver support systems package. In the process of determining the award, various technologies such as autonomous emergency braking, lane tracking technology, traffic sign recognition system and passenger tracking systems are analyzed when approaching vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

E-Transit’s Gold Award also means that Ford is presenting the only two vehicles in the 2-ton segment with the Euro NCAP Gold Award for driver assistance technologies. With this new award, Ford has become the only van manufacturer with commercial vans that have received a Gold award in both the 1-ton and 2-ton segments, after Ford Transit received the Gold award from Euro NCAP in 2020. Among the driver support technologies offered by E-Transit, Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with 2 Traffic Sign Recognition, 2 Blind Spot Information System with Lane Keeping Alert and Assist, 2 Junction Assist, 360-degree camera and Reverse Brake Support is located. In simulations implemented by Euro NCAP, driver warnings and active safety technology actions were tested when approaching parked vehicles or slower traffic, or when a vehicle in front brakes suddenly. E-Transit will hit the road with its first deliveries starting next spring.
