Active safety is all about making the driving of the truck as safe as possible, with the aim of minimising the risk of collisions and other incidents that could lead to injury. Active safety is centred around giving the driver better feedback and control. Key areas of interest for the new trucks are visibility, handling, braking and stability.

Passive safety encompasses aspects of design aimed at minimising consequences arising from a collision – consequences that affect the driver and the occupants of other vehicles.
