From April next year, the Atego will be equipped with more cutting-edge safety assistance systems including, Active Brake Assist 6, emergency braking assistant and the Active Sideguard Assist 2 turning assistant.

The vehicle will be used to test its energy efficiency and aerodynamics, its ability to detect vulnerable road users through integrated ADAS technology, and the comfort and ergonomics of its interior fittings and cabin dashboard.

Set to go to market in Q1 2024, this safety system is designed to reduce the risk of accidents, extend the service life of the tyre and minimise fuel costs (and CO2 emissions) by optimising tyre pressure and therefore performance.
