Peugeot Traveller meets safety standards

On every long trip on family cars, specialized passenger MPVs often bring the highest comfort thanks to their spacious interiors. In order to meet the increasing needs of users, MPVs are equipped with many amenities and facilities to meet not only the needs of transporting passengers for services, but also the daily needs of family customers. Peugeot Traveller is one of such typical examples.

Launched in May, the French MPV is assembled at Truong Hai's factory in Chu Lai - Quang Nam, the same place that produces the 3008 and 5008 models. In addition to high-end amenities, Peugeot's MPV also meets the 5-star safety standards of the new car assessment organization Euro NCAP.

In the front crash test results, the Traveller provided good protection for the driver and front passenger's head and legs. When hitting a fixed hard obstacle at 64 km/h, the Traveller's cabin remained stable. The engine compartment and the front shock absorbers did a good job of reducing the impact force on the cabin. In addition, all seating positions on the Peugeot MPV provided good protection for passengers, even for children.

In the side impact test, Traveller achieved the maximum score. When being hit sideways at 50 km/h and hitting a hard object at 32 km/h, all occupants were safely protected, the curtain airbag system and seat belts helped reduce injuries. The final overall assessment results, the Peugeot MPV protected adults 87%, children 91%, and pedestrians 64% (reducing the level of injury in the event of an accident). The safety technologies on the car were rated at 78%. The indicators obtained after testing of Peugeot Traveller are equivalent to the 5-star safety level according to Euro NCAP standards, the highest level.

Traveller uses the new EMP2 chassis system. The new chassis is highly modular, allowing for a variety of wheelbase options, long, short, low/high. Compared to the previous generation, the new chassis is 70 kg lighter, using high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium alloy and other composite materials. Peugeot said the new chassis structure provides good load-bearing capacity and high stability during operation. Thanks to the reduced chassis weight, the vehicle's fuel consumption is also more optimal. According to the manufacturer's announcement, Traveller has a combined fuel consumption of 6.3 liters/100 km.

For many car buyers, convenience is a consideration, while safety equipment is given more attention. The French MPV possesses many of today's top safety features. The ABS anti-lock braking system helps reduce the risk of wheel slippage during emergency braking at high speeds. The braking force is optimally distributed to the wheels thanks to the EBD electronic brake force distribution system, thereby providing the highest braking efficiency. In addition, the Traveller also possesses other safety systems such as ESP electronic balance, ASR anti-slip or Grip Control driving mode control.

On long journeys, the driver can lose concentration for a moment, so driving assistance technologies play an important role at this time. Traveller has a lane departure warning system that will alert the driver when the car gradually moves into another lane without signaling. The blind spot warning system will signal when there is a vehicle in the area not visible through the mirrors, thereby increasing the driver's concentration in real traffic conditions. There are sensors at the front and rear of the car, combined with a 180-degree camera system, making reversing easier, even in tight areas.

In addition, Traveller has many other features, providing optimal support for passenger transportation. For children, the car has ISOFIX seats to help ensure safety. According to Euro NCAP test results, this seat system has good protection for children from 18 months to 36 months old. Meanwhile, the driver is supported by a child observation mirror system. The cabin is equipped with motion sensors, helping to detect people or animals left in the car when the door is locked. The sliding door on Traveller has anti-jamming ability, ensuring safety for users.

In Vietnam, Traveller is equipped with a 2.0 diesel engine, 4 cylinders, capacity of 150 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 370 Nm at 2,000 rpm, 6-speed automatic transmission. Luxury version costs 1.699 billion VND.
