In the mini class 83% are sold WITHOUT Electronic Stability Control

New research presented at the Challenge, held in Milbrook, UK, on 13 July 2010 shows that despite rising awareness of life saving crash avoidance technologies not enough cars have crucial eSafety systems fitted. Thousands of lives could be saved if these systems were more widely used.

Across the five biggest European markets, installation rates for eSafety systems such as anti-skid device Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are still too low. In particular very few small cars have ESC installed as standard. In the mini class, the majority (83%) are sold without ESC, new figures show.
