SAFETY
The Expert has the best technology and equipment in terms of active and passive safety. In addition, the Expert has structural reinforcements to cater for significant loads. The impact of urban collisions and the potential transport weight of the vehicle have been studied in detail.
ABS, ESP, EBA etc
The new Expert is fitted with the latest technology: Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and emergency braking assist (EBA) are fitted as standard. An electronic stability program (ESP) is optional, including Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and a system (ROM) which limits the risks of the vehicle overturning in the event of extreme transverse acceleration.
Airbags and seat belts
The Expert is provided with a driver front airbag as standard. Its equipment can be supplemented by a front airbag (designed to cover the 1- or 2-passenger seat configurations), and side airbags in the individual seat backs. In the side positions, the 3-point front seat belts, height-adjustable, are provided with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters.

A volumetric and perimeter alarm to detect intrusions is available as an option to protect the cargo, as well as automatic deadlocking of doors while driving.

The Expert has been designed to protect passengers, with a passenger compartment designed to crumple to absorb impacts, and automatic fuel cut-off in the event of an impact.
Cab protection
