Marking Isuzu’s first vehicle evaluation by Euro NCAP, the Japanese-built F-Series earns a two-star rating with no CitySafe award. The truck achieves 67 per cent in Safe Driving, with the best direct vision of all these trucks due to the narrow pillars of the cab, a deep windscreen and the commanding driving position. However, it falls behind in Crash Avoidance testing, scoring just 29 per cent, a reflection of relatively poor active protection of vulnerable road users in frontal collisions and the inability to intervene when cyclists are positioned at the side of the truck when making a turn.
