The Ducato has undergone 20,000 hours of mathematical modelling, 120 crash tests, 150 simulations with a HyGe slide and 200 tests on components and subsystems, making it one of the safest vehicles in its segment.
The chassis and body with crumple zones have been designed to absorb impact effectively and safely: the result is a rigid passenger structure - the passenger compartment is a non-deformable chamber - that is nevertheless complemented by high energy absorbing areas, external to the passenger compartment.
