Verdict

Rated as Platinum in 2022 and Gold against 2023's tougher protocols, the FIAT Ducato, tested this time in electric form, maintains that rating in 2024. Well equipped, both for passive and active safety, and with generally strong ADAS performance, the Ducato remains a good choice for those looking for safety in a commercial van.Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is standard equipment throughout Europe. The system combines AEB with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) that detects vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists as well as other vehicles. In Euro NCAP's tests of the system's reaction to vehicles, performance was adequate, tailing off at higher speeds and where the target was offset to one side. Likewise, the system reacted adequately in tests of its reaction to pedestrians. For cyclists, performance was good, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios.

The standard-fit Lane Support System (LSS) gently steers the vehicle if it is drifting out of lane and intervenes more aggressively in some more critical situations to prevent the van from leaving the road. A blind-spot information system is available.

The speed assistance system uses digital mapping and a camera to determine the local speed limit. This information is presented to the driver and the speed limiter can be set accordingly.

There is a standard-fit seatbelt reminder system for both the driver and passenger seat.
