New research by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles in the UK has found that almost half of van drivers say that the use of ADAS has helped avoid an accident in the last year. 

A OnePoll survey of 1,000 UK van drivers, concerning 2023, found that in the case of 45% of respondents, ADAS had prevented at least one accident in the last year. A reduction in parking and reversing accidents was especially noted. 

Alice Axtell, product marketing manager, at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles commented, “With repair costs on the rise, the impact that accidents can have on the day-to-day running of a business is significant. This is why our vehicles are equipped with a range of advanced driver-assistance technology, many as standard, to help drivers avoid incidents that can put their van out of action and help keep business running smoothly.”
