The Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP) has awarded the new generation Mitsubishi Triton a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
The first in a range of new light commercial vehicles (LCV) entering the Australasian market this year, the Mitsubishi Triton utility has risen to the top rating. This 5-star ANCAP safety rating applies to all Triton variants (all cab styles, engines and driven wheels).
“In terms of safety, LCVs continue to lag passenger vehicles with 57% of LCVs sold holding the maximum 5 star ANCAP safety rating. In comparison, 90% of new passenger vehicles sold are 5 star rated,” says ANCAP chief executive officer Nicholas Clarke.
“This 5-star rating for the Triton is a great achievement as this will translate to increased safety on worksites and on our roads,” says Clarke.
