Show notes: Matthew Avery, car and van safety ratings.

Matthew Avery is Strategic Development Director for Euro NCAP – the organisation responsible for giving safety ratings to all new cars, vans and trucks.

In 2018, Euro NCAP analysed the new vehicle market and revealed a huge discrepancy in the safety equipment between cars and vans – even some from the same manufacturer. But what is the reason behind such a difference?

 In this episode, we discuss:

• Why there is a discrepancy between car and van safety features
• What the key active safety features are and how they work
• How the manufacturers have responded to van safety ratings
• What the new van safety ratings mean for fleet operators
• What fleet operators need to know when ordering new vans
