  • Description
    In the presence of Board of Management member Andreas Renschler, DaimlerChrysler presents the latest safety standards for commercial vehicles to representatives of the political community, government agencies, trade associations, insurance companies and the media. As part of the "Mercedes-Benz Safety Technology" initiative, the Safety Van is demonstrated alongside the Safety Truck and the Safety Bus in a trial drive on a new section of the A 113 motorway. Apart from its exemplary passive safety concept, the Safety Van also is equipped as standard with Adaptive ESP. The further developed variant of ESP has additional functions and also determines the vehicle's load and centre of gravity. With the new safety technologies, which are all already available in production vehicles, commercial vehicle accident figures can be halved and the effects of accidents drastically reduced.
